Senior Software & DevOps Engineer shipping end-to-end
Berlin-based builder with 15+ years of experience delivering high-reliability systems at scale. I specialize in transforming complex technical challenges into production-ready solutions—from monolith-to-microservices migrations that cut deployment times from hours to minutes, to architecting platforms processing high transaction volumes. I thrive in remote, async environments and champion AI-augmented workflows to accelerate delivery cycles.
What I'm doing right now
- Senior DevOps engineer/consultant embedded in SRE and platform teams, driving infrastructure resilience across mission-critical systems.
- Orchestrating operations for microservices handling substantial daily transaction volumes while reducing incident response time.
- Architecting developer tooling and internal platforms that accelerate release cycles and unblock feature teams.
Track record
- Led monolith-to-microservices migrations for B2B/B2C platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users.
- Engineered SSO and registration systems for millions of monthly active users.
- Built data-intensive services processing terabytes of data with excellent availability.
- Pioneered infrastructure-as-code practices reducing provisioning time from days to hours.
- Experience across transportation, PropTech, FinTech, and postal services sectors.
How I like to work
- End-to-end ownership: design, implementation, instrumentation, rollout, and the follow-up fixes that make things robust.
- Start with the problem, baseline with metrics, ship a thin slice, and watch the numbers before widening rollout.
- Write concise RFCs, prefer async collaboration, and pair when velocity or clarity needs it.
- Enjoy deleting code and simplifying flows once the signal is clear.
Stack and tools I reach for
- Languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, Java, Kotlin, Go, Scala, Python, Bash.
