Resume

I (Willi Carlsen) am 37 years old and work as a Senior Cloud Engineer at Veo Technologies, a company that strives to make sports technology available to the masses. I consider myself an AWS and Kubernetes expert, and I have spent the last ~2.5 years building multiple highly scalable Kubernetes clusters for video processing, running more than 2000 nodes at peak. Before that I used ~4 years supporting digital transformation at DFDS building a developer platform utilizing AWS, Kubernetes and Kafka.

An experiment trying, via optomechanical effects, to laser cool a nano-membrane to its ground state. The nano-membrane motion is caused by Brownian motion due to its finite temperature. It is exactly this vibrational noise we cooled away to glance at a macroscopic objects quantum behavior. The membrane was laser cooled from cryogenic temperature (4 K) down to 3 mK, yielding a 4% chance of observing the object in its ground state.
