About Me

I am Jakob Robert Valentin Müller, a software developer from Munich, Bavaria, currently taking a Sabba tical.

The name Drukob was invented by my brother approximately in the year 2005 when I was searching for a good name for my druid character in World of Warcraft (Druid + Jakob = Drukob).

That character was never very successful and short lived, but the name stuck with me, as it fulfills all criteria for a good online username: It's always available, short, recognizable and unique.

In the world of technology, I'm interested in Home Automation, Free Open Source Software (FOSS), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Web Development and I am trying to build experience in those areas through private projects.

Outside of that bubble, I currently really enjoy playing chess, love board game nights and bar trivia events, like to cook and bake (but hate the cleaning up afterwards), would love to travel more my beautiful girlfriend, and I rejoice in the long walks with Salty. For some unknown reason, I dream of getting my motor boat license soon, even though I have never really done anything like that.

This website is mostly used as a playground for vanilla CSS stuff, but who knows, maybe in the future I can use it instead of sending a PDF CV. It uses Matomo analytics, because I am interested if anyone ever visits my page, but it uses it in the cookieless mode, so no cookie consent banner is necessary. However, if you still want to opt out of the tracking, the DoNotTrack browser feature is honored or you can opt out explicitly here.
