Work
Senior Platform Engineer
CloudScale Inc.
Architecting cloud infrastructure on Linux with Terraform and Kubernetes. Leading the migration to edge-first deployments on Cloudflare. Reduced deployment times by 70%.
About Me
Ich baue skalierbare Systeme, automatisiere Deployments und sorge dafür, dass Infrastruktur nicht im Weg ist — sondern den Unterschied macht.
Lass uns sprechenMeine Story
Früher verbrachte ich Stunden mit manuellen Server-Setups, fehleranfälligen Deployments und 3-Uhr-Nachts-Pages. Skalierung war ein Albtraum — jede neue Umgebung ein neues Risiko.
Ich entschied mich für Infrastructure-as-Code, Container-Orchestrierung und GitOps-Workflows. Terraform, Kubernetes und CI/CD-Pipelines wurden zu meinem Standard-Toolkit — nicht als Buzzwords, sondern als echte Werkzeuge.
Heute deploye ich 50x täglich mit 99,9% Uptime. Onboarding neuer Entwickler dauert Minuten statt Tage. Und ich schlafe durch die Nacht — weil die Infrastruktur einfach funktioniert.
„Gute Infrastruktur ist wie gute Typografie: Man bemerkt sie nur, wenn sie schlecht ist."
Tech Stack
Technologien, die ich täglich einsetze — nicht nur theoretisch, sondern in Produktion.
In Zahlen
Konkrete Ergebnisse statt leerer Versprechen.
Aktuell offen für Freelance-Projekte und Beratung im Bereich Cloud-Infrastruktur, DevOps & Platform Engineering.
