  • This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.

Alexandru G.

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.
  • Backend: Python with FastAPI, also Node.js with NestJS.
  • Database: Aurora on PostgreSQL with TypeORM, RDS on SQL Server, Azure Databricks full setup and administration, ETL Pipelines.
  • CI/CD and GitOps: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, ArgoCD.
  • Monitoring and Observability: Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Virtualization: Hyper-V, VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure Migrate.
  • ERP Systems: Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on Azure, integrated with Azure Arc.
  • Networking: Site-to-Site VPNs, AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Firewalls (AWS Network Firewall, Azure Firewall).
  • Security: IAM, NIST Framework, Zero Trust Security, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, GuardDuty.

About the technology

FastAPI at a glance

FastAPI is a modern Python web framework for building APIs and backend services. It combines type hints with automatic validation, interactive documentation and strong asynchronous support. Teams use it when clean contracts, low overhead and fast delivery matter.

What teams build

FastAPI supports internal services, public REST APIs, event-driven backends and data-heavy applications. It fits products that connect web clients, mobile apps, business systems or machine learning workloads.

  • REST and JSON APIs
  • Microservices and service gateways
  • Authentication and access-control services
  • Data and machine learning endpoints

Core ecosystem

Strong specialists work across the FastAPI ecosystem rather than treating the framework in isolation. They use Pydantic for schemas and validation, Starlette for the web layer, and OpenAPI for contract-first documentation. Common delivery tools include PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, pytest and CI pipelines.

When to bring in expertise

Companies often need freelance support when an API must move from a prototype into a dependable production service. Expertise is also valuable when a team is splitting a monolith, introducing asynchronous processing or connecting Python services to existing enterprise systems.

  • Define API contracts and data models
  • Improve latency, reliability and observability
  • Secure authentication and third-party integrations
  • Set up testing, deployment and maintenance workflows

What strong professionals deliver

A capable FastAPI professional designs clear boundaries, handles failure paths and keeps validation close to the data model. They understand async and sync workloads, database transactions, background tasks and dependency injection. They also write tests, maintain OpenAPI documentation and make operational decisions visible to the team.

Collaboration in Munich

FastAPI specialists in Munich may support software, industrial, automotive, financial or research teams. Remote work can be effective when API contracts, pull requests and deployment ownership are clearly documented. For on-site collaboration, agree early on language expectations, security access and the cadence for technical decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure where to start with FastAPI? These answers cover the essentials.

FastAPI is used to create Python APIs, backend services and microservices. It is well suited to applications that need automatic request validation, OpenAPI documentation, asynchronous processing or connections to data and machine learning systems.

FastAPI focuses on typed API development, automatic documentation and asynchronous workloads. Django REST Framework offers a broader, more integrated web ecosystem, while Flask is smaller and more flexible but usually requires more choices for validation and API documentation.

A strong FastAPI specialist should understand Python, Pydantic, Starlette, SQL databases and API security. Experience with Docker, cloud deployment, testing, observability and message queues is also useful when the service must run reliably in production.

The right level depends on the system, not a fixed number of years. A small internal API may need solid Python and testing skills, while a distributed service requires proven judgment around async execution, data consistency, authentication, deployment and operational support.

Yes. FastAPI work is well suited to remote collaboration because API contracts, code reviews, tests and deployment workflows are easy to share. Munich teams should clarify working hours, documentation practices, data access and whether German or English is needed for meetings.

FastAPI may be unnecessary for a very small script, a mostly server-rendered website or a system tightly coupled to Django's full application stack. It can also add complexity if a team has no need for typed API contracts, asynchronous work or independently deployed services.

Ask how the specialist would structure dependencies, validation, error handling, authentication and tests. Review a real API example or repository, then discuss documentation, database boundaries, observability and how the service would behave under failure.

A FastAPI freelancer should clarify the existing Python version, framework conventions, deployment target, database design and ownership of API contracts. In Munich, it also helps to confirm on-site expectations, security requirements and the language used with product and operations teams.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Munich, Germany who have used FastAPI in their recent projects is 98 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 782 € based on an 8-hour working day.
