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
Interactive maps with Leaflet
Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library for building interactive maps in web applications. It renders smooth, mobile-friendly map interfaces without imposing a specific map provider. Companies use it for store locators, delivery views, asset maps, travel tools, geospatial dashboards and location search.
Mapping ecosystem
Leaflet works with tile providers such as OpenStreetMap, Mapbox and commercial mapping services. Its ecosystem supports GeoJSON data, geocoding services, routing APIs and spatial backends. Specialists also use plugins for clustering, drawing, heatmaps, timelines, full-screen controls and advanced layer management.
Core delivery tasks
- Configure map tiles, attribution and layer controls
- Build markers, popups, tooltips and custom icons
- Display GeoJSON boundaries, routes and live locations
- Add search, filtering, clustering and drawing tools
- Connect maps to APIs, databases and content systems
When expertise matters
Companies often bring in freelance Leaflet specialists when a map is central to a product but the internal team lacks geospatial experience. They can help replace a static locator, improve an existing interface, or connect location data to operational workflows. In Germany, this may support logistics, mobility, tourism, property, utilities and field-service products.
Adjacent skills
Effective Leaflet work reaches beyond JavaScript. Strong professionals understand HTML, CSS, responsive interaction design and modern frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular. They may also work with TypeScript, REST APIs, spatial databases, geocoding, coordinate reference systems and accessibility requirements.
Quality signals
Look for a specialist who can explain tile licensing, attribution, API limits, privacy considerations and coordinate handling before implementation begins. A reliable delivery includes clear layer logic, efficient rendering, touch-friendly controls and graceful behavior when data or tiles are unavailable. For remote collaboration across Germany, precise documentation and fluent communication help keep map requirements aligned.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Leaflet, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Companies use Leaflet for interactive web maps, including store locators, delivery tracking, travel planning, service coverage and asset monitoring. It is well suited to products that need map controls and location data inside a browser rather than a complete standalone mapping application.
Leaflet is a lightweight mapping library that gives teams broad control over tile sources and plugins. Mapbox GL JS is often chosen for vector-tile styling and highly visual maps, while Google Maps JavaScript API offers a tightly integrated commercial ecosystem. The right choice depends on data ownership, visual requirements, licensing and required services.
A strong Leaflet specialist usually understands JavaScript or TypeScript, responsive CSS and browser performance. Useful adjacent skills include React, Vue or Angular, GeoJSON, geocoding, routing APIs and spatial databases such as PostGIS. Knowledge of accessibility and privacy is also important for public-facing maps.
The required experience depends on the map’s complexity, data quality and integration needs. A simple locator may need focused implementation skills, while live tracking, clustering, drawing tools and large datasets call for deeper experience with rendering and geospatial data. Ask for examples that resemble the intended product rather than relying only on a general portfolio.
Yes, Leaflet work is usually well suited to remote collaboration because requirements, data and interfaces can be reviewed online. Teams in Germany should agree on communication language, data access, tile-provider responsibilities and review processes at the start. On-site workshops can still help when map behavior depends on field operations or complex internal workflows.
Leaflet can display OpenStreetMap tiles, but the library and the tile service are separate components. Teams must follow the relevant attribution, usage and capacity requirements and should choose an appropriate tile provider for production traffic. A specialist should make this distinction clear during planning.
Review whether the Leaflet map remains usable on touch devices, loads efficiently and handles missing or changing location data safely. Check marker clustering, zoom behavior, keyboard access, attribution, error states and integration tests. A quality specialist can also explain how the map will scale and how providers, layers and API dependencies can be changed later.
Yes, Leaflet can be integrated with React, Vue, Angular and other frontend stacks through wrappers or carefully managed component code. The important issue is controlling the map instance and its layers so framework updates do not create duplicated markers or unnecessary rendering. Specialists should be comfortable defining that boundary in a maintainable way.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Leaflet in their recent projects is 90 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 721 € based on an 8-hour working day.
