I specialize in delivering tailored, high-impact customer solutions across various sectors. I join sales processes early as a technical expert, collaborating with clients to gather requirements, design robust architectures, and implement reliable production systems. My work primarily leverages Google Cloud, Azure, StackIT, and Kubernetes to achieve modern, scalable, and secure infrastructures for our clients.

• Partner with customers early in the sales cycle to analyze technical requirements and scope solutions.
• Design and implement reliable, cloud-native architectures tailored to client-specific needs.
• Drive digital transformation by leveraging modern containerization, orchestration, and multi-cloud strategies.

I was instrumental in architecting and developing innovative software solutions that significantly enhanced the e-commerce platform, continuously adding valuable features. My role involved 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 prioritized 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 operates 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 reviewed 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 operated seamlessly.

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

• Led software projects to ensure seamless integration into a unified architecture.
• Acted as an in-house consultant for technical and non-technical inquiries about public cloud and software architecture.
• Standardized and optimized technical processes to expedite parallel project development.
• Implemented 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.
