Cloud Engineers in Berlin

• Independently designed, developed, published, and maintained mobile games for iOS and Android.
• Implemented application architecture, gameplay systems, UI, monetization, analytics, and platform integrations.
• Managed the complete release lifecycle, including testing, store publication, production monitoring, and iterative improvements based on analytics.

OpsWorker turns Kubernetes alerts into root-cause analyses, on top of the monitoring a team already runs. I lead the technical side: the agent architecture, the AWS infrastructure it runs on (fully inside EU regions), and the engineering decisions behind it, read-only in the cluster by default, human in the loop for judgment. The stack underneath: Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore, agents built with the Strands Agents SDK, the Claude and OpenAI APIs, and the Kubernetes API.

• Lecturer for the GenAI Track at the Master School Institute of Technology
• Development of a full-stack AI application (React + Python/FastAPI) for automated supplier product import with intelligent column and category classification (4-layer hierarchical) including human-in-the-loop validation

• Context: Healthcare and laboratory teams required faster document analysis, treatment-planning support, and reliable AI workflows for MR/VR-assisted operations.
• Contribution: Built the AI healthcare platform, model/agent workflows, VR-glasses deployment platform, REST APIs, Next.js/React interfaces, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Impact: Delivered a production-ready AI product foundation that improved clinical document review, supported laboratory automation, and made VR fleet deployment manageable across environments.

Tech: TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, React, Java, Spring Boot, Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Docker, PostgreSQL, OpenAPI, GitLab, GitHub Actions.

• Insurance service provider*

Challenge: Business-critical documents were processed through external OCR providers, with ongoing costs, dependency, and data privacy risks for sensitive insurance data.

Implementation:

• Architecture and production implementation of an on-premise OCR solution with full data ownership
• Methods for recognizing document structures as the basis for automated further processing
• ML-, NLP-, and LLM/VLM-based information extraction, especially from invoices and quotations

Success: Replaced external providers: full data ownership, GDPR-compliant processing, and 75% lower recurring OCR costs per year

Used technologies: Python, Docker, Microservices, FastAPI, PyTorch, Torchvision, MongoDB, MySQL

• Creation, maintenance and hardening of Kubernetes clusters employing Ansible and ArgoCD
• Keywords: Ansible, AWX, Kubernetes, NetApp, Prometheus, CI/CD ArgoCD, SSO, Fluent-bit, HAProxy, Calico, Keycloak, oauth2-proxy, SealedSecrets, kubeseal, Aqua kube-bench, CIS-Benchmarks, Aqua Trivy operator

• Supported the company's transition from an on-premise architecture to AWS cloud services, modernizing infrastructure and optimizing operational efficiency.
• Leveraged expertise in automation and software implementation to enhance scalability, reliability and profitability.
• Implemented Poetry and Ruff to streamline Python dependency management and code quality checks, improving development efficiency and reducing errors.
• Implemented an automated CI/CD strategy with GitHub Actions, which decreased deployment times and minimized manual intervention.
• Enforced deployment automation for Kubernetes, enhancing the scalability and reliability of applications across the organization.
• Evaluated and implemented Apache Airflow for workflow management, leading to more efficient scheduling and monitoring of data pipelines.
• Created data interfaces for energy traders, enabling them to optimize profit margins through improved data analysis and decision-making tools.

• Developing GitHub Actions/pipelines for automatic application deployment
• Supporting the provisioning of Helm charts for the CI/CD infrastructure
• Rebuilding and migrating a Kubernetes cluster using Rancher
• Creating IaC with Terraform for Kubernetes and additional services (monitoring, databases)
• Deploying a highly available Percona Galera cluster (MySQL)
• Implementing a centralized monitoring and logging infrastructure

• Refactored the mobile app by reimplementing stores, models, API client, screens and components using Typescript
• Added performant on-device storage for stores as preparation for offline mode
• Integrated RNUILib to achieve a minimal and modern UI design quickly
• Implemented native packages to provide additional features such as displaying of caller IDs
• Planned feature development and UX improvements following initial refactoring and redesign

• Consulting an NGO in the field of data center sustainability in publicly funded projects (BMUKN with NADIKI and Federal Environment Agency with SIEC)
• Development of Python APIs and web applications, deployment on AWS/ECS with Terraform
• Collecting power consumption metrics for servers, CPUs, GPUs running AI workloads
