Event Streaming
Expertise in Apache Kafka, Confluent Cloud (Cluster Linking), Strimzi, Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, NATS JetStream and RabbitMQ. Leadership of AWS MSK to Confluent Cloud migrations and design of disaster-recovery strategies with defined RTO/RPO objectives.
Kubernetes and Containers
Deep hands-on experience with EKS, AKS, OpenShift, Docker, Helm, Helmfile, Kustomize, Istio, Kyverno, OPA and External Secrets. Architecture and operation of greenfield Kubernetes workload platforms and hardening of Kubernetes workloads with policy enforcement and network segmentation.
Cloud Infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code
Primary expertise in AWS with additional experience in Azure/AKS across multi-account and multi-environment platforms. Infrastructure as Code using OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible and Pulumi for provisioning, configuration and recovery workflows.
GitOps and CI/CD
Practical experience with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps and TeamCity for standardizing delivery pipelines and automating provisioning and configuration workflows.
Observability
Building platform observability stacks using Prometheus, JMX exporters, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry, Tempo and Datadog, including production reliability investigations and runbook creation.
Security
Implementation of IAM/RBAC, AWS Pod Identity/OIDC, HashiCorp Vault, Secrets Manager, TLS/mTLS, Kafka ACLs and NATS nsc/JWT for securing cloud-native and streaming platforms.
Programming and Scripting
Development in Python (FastAPI, Flask), Shell/Bash, Java, C# and PowerShell, including automation for Kafka connector lifecycle management and developer-facing self-service tooling.
Disaster Recovery Architecture
Design of independent disaster-recovery strategies including Cluster Linking for real-time cross-region failover and Kafka Connect with S3 restore for full data recovery, with defined RTO/RPO objectives for regulatory resilience.

Projekthistorie
Evaluated messaging requirements and recommended NATS JetStream over Kafka; evolved the NATS-native stack into a 3-node RAFT/R3 deployment. Re-engineered JetStream topology into GitOps-declared NACK CRDs with hardened durable-consumer delivery semantics. Architected migration from ECS to a greenfield EKS workload platform using OpenTofu, ArgoCD, Helm, External Secrets and AWS Pod Identity. Built platform observability with VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Tempo/OpenTelemetry and OpenCost.
Led migration from AWS MSK to Confluent Cloud for a platform serving hundreds of producers and consumers. Built and led a team of two Kafka engineers. Designed two independent disaster-recovery strategies with defined RTO/RPO objectives. Embedded Terraform, Helm and ArgoCD GitOps into the Kafka platform. Developed Python automation for Kafka connector lifecycle and hardened Kubernetes workloads with Kyverno/OPA policy enforcement.
Led migration of blockchain infrastructure to Azure (AKS, Blob Storage, Azure SQL), automating provisioning with Terraform and Azure DevOps Pipelines. Built an AWS disaster-recovery site for the blockchain platform with Terraform (EC2, Nitro Enclave, S3, RDS). Hardened Kubernetes with Cert-Manager, Calico network policies and RBAC.
