I am instrumental in architecting and developing innovative software solutions that significantly enhance the e-commerce platform, continuously adding valuable features. My role involves ensuring adherence to best practices and serving as a trusted consultant for both technical and non-technical inquiries regarding cloud infrastructure, software architecture, and methodologies such as continuous integration and continuous deployment. I prioritize the creation of reusable CI/CD and IaC code, making it readily accessible to the entire department to promote efficiency and collaboration.

Notably, I played a pivotal role in building and integrating the HORNBACH marketplace in Google Cloud, leveraging cutting-edge technologies with a serverless-first approach. I also contributed significantly to the migration to a new Europe-wide POS solution that will operate seamlessly on Azure. Through my efforts in automation and cloud infrastructure right-sizing, I single-handedly saved the company 700.000€, implementing FinOps practices that I continually review to ensure optimal cost efficiency.

Additionally, I developed an internal load testing platform to facilitate efficient load testing, including the creation of Jenkins pipelines, Helm charts for packaging load generators, and a secure, no-ops Kubernetes cluster that has operated seamlessly over the past year.

I also undertake tasks from my previous position to develop proof of concepts, explore new technologies for HORNBACH, and establish efficient business processes based on these innovations.

• Lead software projects to ensure seamless integration into a unified architecture.
• Act as an in-house consultant for technical and non-technical inquiries about public cloud and software architecture.
• Standardize and optimize technical processes to expedite parallel project development.
• Implement cross-project standards derived from project-specific implementations to enhance overall efficiency.

I played a key role in designing and building a robust multi-tenant public cloud infrastructure to support a microservice-based e-commerce platform. My contributions were vital during the platform's migration, where I focused on continuous improvement to enhance performance and scalability. I meticulously planned and implemented a comprehensive architecture aligned with the latest industry standards, prioritizing technology adoption, security, and cost efficiency to achieve staging in record time.

A significant aspect of my daily responsibilities involved advancing the automation of cloud platforms using cutting-edge enterprise tools. To facilitate this, I developed a company-wide Jenkins library that standardizes processes for public cloud deployments, promoting consistency and efficiency across the organization.

• Expertly planned, designed, and implemented cloud-native architectures that meet evolving business needs.
• Served as an in-house consultant for development teams on public and private cloud initiatives, providing strategic guidance and support.
• Managed Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, ensuring seamless automation and deployment across environments.

During my internship semester, I successfully implemented automated PostgreSQL backup, failover, and recovery strategies. I meticulously documented these implementations and leveraged containerization and Kubernetes for deployment. For my bachelor's thesis, I focused on the development, implementation, and automation of Chaos Engineering practices tailored for a microservice-based e-commerce platform.

• Developed and implemented automated PostgreSQL backup, failover, and recovery strategies.
• Designed and executed Chaos Engineering principles and experiments.
