Amazon CloudWatch Experts in Munich

• Partner directly with C-level leadership (CEO, CAIO, CTO) on architecture, OKR strategy, and cross-team roadmap prioritization, translating strategic goals into structured engineering requirements.
• Surfaced and mapped technical debt across the entire organization with C-level leadership and co-defined a prioritized remediation strategy, balancing debt paydown against feature delivery.
• Led code reviews and technical standards across the team, fostering a mentor-first environment with two-way feedback dialogue — pairing on complex pipeline work and unblocking junior engineers on async architecture patterns.
• Re-architected the AI companion's core processing pipeline from synchronous to asynchronous with a queue-based worker architecture, enabling horizontal scalability and cutting upload processing time ~4x (from ~22s to 5–10s) while improving response accuracy.
• Designed an AI-driven document intelligence workflow with automatic multi-document classification, per-document summarization, and relevance guardrails for the patient care journey.
• Built a unified patient memory system (short- and long-term context) bridging the document vault and chatbot into a single bidirectional, context-aware platform.

• It is like a startup within REWE, where we have to build a new forecasting system on Google Cloud Platform from the scratch. Although, officially my role is called MLOps, my actual tasks also include development of data processing pipelines (data engineering) and data scientists tasks such as feature engineering and model trainings.

• Designed, built, and maintained scalable ETL/ELT data pipelines using Python, SQL, REST APIs, AWS Lambda, S3, PostgreSQL RDS, EventBridge, CloudWatch, Docker, Apache Airflow, and BigQuery – integrating data from GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, CMS, CRM, newsletters, events, and B2C ordering systems into analytics-ready datasets.
• Built a cross-brand lakehouse architecture from AWS to BigQuery – transforming raw JSON/CSV data into structured, partitioned, and reusable reporting layers with staging, intermediate, canonical, and mart models.
• Designed relational and dimensional data models: 3NF staging models, star schemas, fact tables, dimension tables, daily KPI aggregates, and dashboard-optimized marts for marketing, content, subscription, event, CRM, and revenue analysis.
• Implemented production-grade data quality and pipeline reliability features: incremental loads, idempotent upserts, deduplication, schema validation, row matching, null checks, anomaly detection, freshness monitoring, logging, retries, and error alerts.
• Automated cross-brand reporting processes and data products – pipelines for 73 newsletter campaigns, 31 lead list syncs, 52 event partner reports, and a 500K-record company matching pipeline; reduced manual data preparation by approx. 70% and increased analyst productivity by approx. 30%.

• Test concept creation

I have worked across multiple international client projects, holding senior roles including Software Architect, Senior Software Developer, Technical Lead, and Lead Backend & DevOps Engineer. My experience spans complex enterprise environments in banking, financial services, telecommunications, engineering, and automotive domains, supporting organisations such as UniCredit Bank, Telefónica O2, and BMW.

At UniCredit Bank, within the Securities Domain Transformation program, I led the modernisation of legacy monolithic systems into cloud-native Spring Boot microservices and an Angular frontend deployed on Google Cloud Platform. Beyond implementation, I was responsible for defining the target architecture, producing system architecture diagrams and sequence diagrams, and preparing API contract documentation for clients. I designed RESTful APIs and integrated Apigee for secure and reusable cross-project service consumption of APIs. I architected Kubernetes-based deployments using Helm. CI/CD pipelines were built with Jenkins, automating code analysis using Sonar, as well as testing and deployment stages. Defining clean coding principles for the project, conducting regular code reviews, and mentoring junior developers were also among my tasks at UniCredit.

At Telefónica O2, I led the transformation of a legacy call centre desktop application into a cloud-native microservices and micro-frontend solution. I actively contributed to the platform architecture, creating system architecture diagrams, component diagrams, architecture documentation, and ADRs for future references. I improved the performance and scalability of the services. I optimised AWS infrastructure costs, particularly by minimising the use of DynamoDB and reusing test environments effectively. Observability was implemented using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and Splunk dashboards. CI/CD pipelines were delivered using GitLab, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. Conducted techinical sessions for teams.
