Last position:
Principal Cloud DevOps Architect at BP
In my role as Senior Cloud DevOps Architect for BP, an oil and gas company, I had the mission to migrate the Electric Vehicle Charging platform of the EV Division from on-premises and Azure to AWS cloud, resulting in a hybrid multi-cloud, multi-tenant SaaS solution.
Deployment with Kubernetes for the application layer meant provisioning Kubernetes clusters managed by EKS and AKS, with a focus on integrating them into a multi-tenant environment. This integration was achieved by using Kubernetes namespaces and access controls to ensure data isolation and privacy enforcement.
In the database layer, we chose an RDS instance with PostgreSQL to support the backend infrastructure of our applications. Tenants shared the same RDS instance, but each had a dedicated schema.
To ingest near real-time data from physical charge points (CPOs), as IoT devices, via the OCPI protocol, we ran into significant delays with batch processing. As a result, we built a real-time streaming data pipeline using Apache Kafka, while prioritizing an event-driven architecture.
Led collaboration across multiple internal teams, external vendors, cloud providers, and on-site partners to integrate over five systems into a unified solution.
Achievements:
- Successfully designed and implemented hybrid multi-cloud solutions, integrating multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) with on-premises infrastructure, using Site-to-Site VPNs, Firewalls, and Load Balancing.
- Led the migration of on-premises infrastructure to multi-cloud, multi-tenant infrastructure, resulting in 30% faster processing times.
- Migrated workloads from VMware and Hyper-V environments to cloud-based VMs, leveraging cloud-native services to optimize performance, cost efficiency, and scalability.
- Designed a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform leveraging the Kubernetes ecosystem, using Karpenter for dynamic EC2 node provisioning, KEDA for event-driven pod autoscaling (e.g., Kafka message lag), and Rancher for centralized monitoring of multiple clusters (EKS, AKS, or on-prem K8s), replacing Microsoft-centric Azure Arc management service.
- Designed and implemented Python-based FastAPI microservices as part of the EV core-backend on AWS EKS application layer, powering data ingestion and customer analytics pipelines.
- Developed asynchronous, event-driven APIs (Python-FastAPI) for real-time integration with CPOs, supporting OCPI 2.3 and OICP protocols.
- Designed and implemented a secure, production-grade Azure Databricks platform using Terraform, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.
- Migrated on-premises ERP to a hybrid Dynamics 365 architecture with ERP hosted locally and CRM running in Azure, integrated via Azure Arc.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines for Databricks notebooks and jobs using GitHub Actions & Databricks CLI, reducing deployment time. Reduced infrastructure provisioning time by 70% by automating cloud resource deployment with GitOps.
- Ensured compliance with internal audit and data governance standards (GDPR) through OAuth2/OIDC-based authentication and fine-grained role-based access controls.
- Developed a Zero Trust security model, enforcing least-privilege access and microsegmentation, enhancing security posture and compliance with GDPR and NIST.
- Built interactive analytics dashboards in Amazon QuickSight, integrating data from S3 and Redshift to deliver real-time business insights and visualizations with embedded access for multi-tenant users.
- Led cloud security assessments and full-lifecycle cybersecurity integration during M&A, covering AWS, Azure, IAM (Entra ID), and data protection, while aligning security posture with NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR across hybrid and cloud-native environments.
- Reduced cloud costs by 64% for a client's dev environment by implementing automated start/stop schedules for EC2 and RDS instances via AWS CDK with EventBridge Scheduler or AWS Systems Manager.
Tech stack:
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, AWS CDK, Ansible.
- Containers: Kubernetes on EKS, AKS, Docker.
- Streaming Data Processing: Kafka to Confluent Cloud, after AWS MSK.
- Frontend: TypeScript, React, NextJS, Hooks, Styled Components.

About the technology
Cloud Protection
Cloud security protects data, identities, applications and infrastructure running in public, private or hybrid cloud environments. It combines preventive controls with continuous monitoring, threat detection and incident response. The work covers cloud configuration, access paths, workloads and the connections between them.
Core Platforms
Specialists commonly work across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, adapting controls to each provider’s identity, networking and logging model. Their toolkit may include Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, Google Security Command Center, Terraform, Kubernetes and container security tools. They also connect cloud findings with SIEM and ticketing systems.
Typical Deliverables
- Cloud security architecture and landing-zone controls
- Identity and access management with least-privilege policies
- Cloud Security Posture Management, or CSPM, rules and remediation
- Container, Kubernetes and serverless workload protection
- Logging, detection and incident-response playbooks
These deliverables turn security requirements into repeatable controls that teams can operate and audit.
When to Hire
Companies bring in freelance expertise during cloud migrations, platform redesigns, audits and major changes to identity or network architecture. External specialists can investigate misconfigurations, define guardrails or establish a practical security operating model. In Munich, they may support regulated industries and local teams through remote collaboration, on-site workshops or a combination of both.
Strong Specialists
Strong professionals connect security decisions to business risk instead of treating every alert equally. They understand IAM, network segmentation, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability handling and infrastructure as code. They can explain trade-offs clearly, document decisions and leave internal teams with controls they can maintain.
Assessing Fit
Look for evidence of hands-on work in the cloud providers and workload types used by the project. Ask how the specialist would discover excessive permissions, exposed services, weak logging and unowned findings. A good engagement has a defined scope, measurable control outcomes, clear ownership and a plan for validating improvements after implementation.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Cloud Security.
Cloud Security is used to protect cloud-hosted data, applications, identities, networks and infrastructure from misuse, exposure and attacks. It covers prevention, monitoring, detection, response and recovery across public, private and hybrid environments.
Cloud Security must account for shared-responsibility models, elastic resources, provider-managed services and rapidly changing infrastructure. Traditional controls still matter, but cloud work adds identity-centric access, API governance, infrastructure as code and continuous configuration monitoring.
A strong Cloud Security specialist usually understands IAM, network design, encryption, vulnerability management and incident response. Experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, SIEM tools and one or more major cloud providers is also valuable.
Complex Cloud Security work benefits from deep experience when it involves a multi-cloud estate, sensitive data, major migration, active incident or difficult regulatory requirements. Smaller projects may need a focused specialist for configuration reviews, IAM cleanup or baseline controls.
Cloud Security is often well suited to remote collaboration because specialists can review configurations, policies, logs and infrastructure code securely. On-site sessions in Munich can still help with workshops, stakeholder alignment and access to restricted environments; German or English communication may be relevant to the team.
Ask a Cloud Security professional to explain how they would identify risk, prioritise findings and prove that controls work. Look for clear reasoning, practical remediation plans, careful documentation and experience with the exact provider, workloads and delivery model involved.
Cloud Security cannot be reduced to Cloud Security Posture Management, or CSPM. CSPM can find configuration risks, but effective protection also requires strong identity controls, workload security, logging, threat detection, secure development practices and a response process.
A focused Cloud Security engagement should first establish scope, ownership and the most serious attack paths. From there, the specialist can deliver a risk-based backlog, priority fixes, baseline policies, monitoring coverage and guidance that internal teams can operate after the project.
