Michael F.
Last position:
Platform Architect (Project lead) at Würth IT
I designed and built a self-service AWS platform for Data Science teams with little or no infrastructure-as-code experience. A team writes about 10 lines of Python and gets a deployable stack with full SDLC release cycle that already follows the governance rules. Networking, encryption, IAM and tagging are decided by the platform, not by each team.
New teams or AWS accounts are onboarded with one pull request. Waste prevention and cost control is built into the defaults: Data scientists don't need infrastructure skills.
- Construct library (AWS CDK, Python). Built a versioned catalog of about 20 hardened constructs for being used in data-science projects with ML context
- Governance as code
- Multi-account, multi-tenant
- Golden-path scaffolding
- CI/CD and supply chain. Built reusable GitHub Actions workflows
- Release engineering
- QA with e2e, contract testing and unit test coverage with each release candidate

About the technology
Cloud foundation
Amazon Web Services, commonly called AWS, is a cloud ecosystem for running applications, storing data and connecting distributed systems. Companies use it for elastic compute, managed databases, object storage, networking and identity control. Workloads can run across regions and availability zones without owning physical infrastructure.
Core services
AWS projects often combine services rather than rely on one product. EC2 and Lambda support different compute models, while S3 handles object storage and RDS or Aurora provide managed relational databases. VPC, IAM, CloudFront, Route 53, ECS, EKS and CloudFormation are common parts of a production environment.
Typical workloads
- Deploy web applications and APIs across reliable environments
- Build event-driven and serverless workflows with Lambda and SQS
- Create data lakes, analytics pipelines and machine learning foundations
- Run containerized services with ECS or Kubernetes on EKS
- Connect private networks, identity systems and third-party services
Delivery and tooling
Strong AWS work includes infrastructure as code, automated releases and clear observability. Specialists use Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Docker and CI/CD tooling alongside CloudWatch, CloudTrail and X-Ray. They also define IAM policies, backup routines, encryption, cost controls and recovery procedures rather than treating them as later additions.
When to bring in expertise
Companies often need freelance support during a cloud migration, a platform redesign or a rapid product launch. External expertise is also useful when an environment has unclear ownership, rising complexity or weak security controls. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while regulated or infrastructure-heavy work may require planned on-site sessions and clear German or English communication.
What strong professionals show
The strongest AWS professionals explain trade-offs in plain language and connect architecture to business risk. They can document decisions, test failure scenarios and improve an existing environment without unnecessary replacement. Look for hands-on evidence with the relevant AWS services, sensible access boundaries, automated delivery and measurable operational improvements.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Amazon Web Services — answered in short.
Amazon Web Services is used to host applications, APIs, websites, databases and data platforms in the cloud. AWS also supports serverless processing, containers, analytics, machine learning workloads, backups and global content delivery.
AWS offers a broad set of managed infrastructure, application and data services. Azure can be a natural fit for organizations centered on Microsoft identity and software, while Google Cloud is often considered for data and machine learning strengths; the right choice depends on existing systems, skills, compliance needs and workload design.
A strong Amazon Web Services specialist often combines networking, Linux, security, databases and software delivery knowledge. Terraform or AWS CDK, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability and identity management are valuable when the work spans more than a single service.
The required depth depends on the risk and scope of the work. A simple workload migration needs different expertise from a multi-account platform, a regulated data environment or a high-availability service, so assess experience with the exact services, failure modes and delivery constraints.
Yes. AWS environments are well suited to remote collaboration through shared repositories, infrastructure definitions, documentation and secure access procedures. German companies should agree on working language, time-zone overlap, data access and any on-site sessions required by internal security or operations teams.
On-site work can help when an AWS migration involves private networks, legacy infrastructure, physical facilities or several internal teams. It is less important for self-contained cloud delivery, provided access, architecture decisions and operational ownership are documented clearly.
Ask an Amazon Web Services professional to explain a relevant architecture, its trade-offs and how it handles outages, access control, backups and costs. Review infrastructure code, runbooks and monitoring decisions, and check whether the proposed design is simple enough for the team to operate.
An AWS engagement may involve architecture, migration, automation, security or ongoing operations, so clarify the scope and ownership early. Freelancers should confirm account access, deployment controls, data boundaries, documentation expectations and who will handle incidents after delivery.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Amazon Web Services in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 776 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Amazon Web Services in their recent projects, 93% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 59% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.
