About
My name is Michael Gfeller. I’m a cloud architect, software engineer and DevOps enthusiast.
I spend a lot of my spare time on music. I play the accordion (Pigini Master 58/B and Roland FR-1XB) and if I find the time I like to create sounds and rhythms on my synths (Korg microKORG XL+, Roland JD-XA, Korg volca beats and volca fm). I also sing in a choir called D’Kor.
Books are a Good Thing. Here are some of the ones I enjoyed and consulted, both related to my professional work and otherwise, in no particular order.
