Bachelor of CommerceÜber mich
DevOps Engineer with 5 years of experience building cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines on GCP, AWS, and Azure. I work with Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I come from a backend background, so I understand both sides of the deployment pipeline.

Cloud & Infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Azure)
Expertise in designing and managing cloud infrastructure across GCP (Cloud Run, IAM), AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch), and Azure, including containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes and Terraform.
CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Hands-on experience building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions, reducing build times by up to 89% and standardizing promotion gates across multiple environments.
Backend Development (NestJS, Node.js, Go)
Solid background in backend engineering using NestJS, Node.js, and Go, including designing REST and GraphQL APIs, optimizing PostgreSQL schemas, and running scalable services on cloud platforms.
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Building Terraform modules for remote state (S3), VPC, IAM, EKS clusters, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including automated drift detection.
Kubernetes & EKS
Applying RBAC, ServiceAccounts, IRSA/Pod Identity, and network policies for workload security within EKS clusters on AWS.
Database Management (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis)
Optimizing PostgreSQL schemas and query patterns for high-frequency endpoints, and working with MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis in production environments.
GCP IAM & Security
Implementing least-privilege GCP IAM policies and service-account controls to reduce the blast radius of credential exposure.
Serverless & Scheduled Pipelines
Replacing cron-based uptime checks with scheduled serverless pipelines, adding synthetic checks and post-deploy health verification to catch failed releases.
Languages: Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Bash, C#
Proficiency in multiple programming and scripting languages including Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Bash, and C# for automation, backend development, and infrastructure tooling.

Projekthistorie
Cut CI build time from 18 to 2 minutes (~89%) by tracing a regression through git and CI history. Reduced infrastructure costs by 70% by removing stale Neon DB branches and right-sizing over-provisioned Cloud Run compute. Replaced cron-based uptime checks with a scheduled serverless pipeline. Designed and ran the NestJS backend on GCP Cloud Run, serving a Next.js web client and an Expo mobile app from a shared API and Postgres database.
Built Terraform modules for remote state (S3), VPC, IAM, and an EKS cluster; applying RBAC, ServiceAccounts, IRSA/Pod Identity, and network policies for workload security.
Built a Go API and control plane to provision and manage infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with automated drift detection and Terraform module testing.
