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.

  • 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

What Leaflet is

Leaflet is a lightweight open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps in web browsers. It provides the core map, layer, marker, popup and event APIs needed for location-based interfaces without forcing a specific map provider. Companies use it for store locators, delivery views, asset maps, travel tools and operational dashboards.

Maps and interfaces

Leaflet supports touch-friendly maps that work across desktop and mobile browsers. Specialists combine tile layers, markers, polygons, clustering and popups to present geographic information clearly. They also build search, filtering, drawing and editing features around the map so users can explore locations instead of viewing a static image.

Ecosystem and tooling

Leaflet projects often connect the library with OpenStreetMap tiles, geocoding services and spatial APIs. Common surrounding skills include JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs and frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular. Experts may also work with plugins for clustering, routing, drawing, heatmaps and geographic data formats such as GeoJSON.

When companies need help

Companies bring in freelance Leaflet specialists when a map must be added to an existing product or when geographic data needs a usable interface.

  • Replace a static location view with an interactive map
  • Connect live business, delivery or asset data to map layers
  • Add clustering, routing, drawing or location search
  • Improve map performance on mobile devices

Project delivery in Germany

A strong specialist can translate business rules into a map experience that remains fast and understandable as data grows. In Germany, Leaflet work may support logistics, mobility, retail, real estate, public services and industrial operations. Remote collaboration is usually practical, while workshops with local teams may benefit from German-language communication and clear documentation.

What good specialists bring

Quality depends on more than placing markers on a tile layer. Experienced professionals understand coordinate systems, tile licensing, geocoding limits, accessibility, responsive design, browser performance and data privacy concerns. They test loading states, inaccurate locations, dense areas and touch interactions, then document the map configuration so the product team can maintain it.

Frequently asked questions

Key details about Leaflet, drawn from the questions we get asked most.

Leaflet is used to create interactive maps in web applications. It can display markers, routes, boundaries, heatmaps and live geographic data for use cases such as store finders, fleet views, property search and field operations.

Leaflet is a map interface library, not a complete map data and search service. It gives teams provider flexibility and a small browser footprint, while Google Maps and Mapbox offer broader hosted services; the right choice depends on data sources, styling, licensing, routing and product requirements.

A strong Leaflet specialist usually works comfortably with JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs and GeoJSON. Experience with React, Vue, Angular, spatial databases, geocoding and OpenStreetMap-based services is also valuable.

The required experience depends on the map’s data volume, interactions and integration work. A simple embedded map may need focused front-end expertise, while routing, live updates, editing tools or complex spatial data call for a professional who has delivered comparable interfaces.

Yes. Leaflet work is well suited to remote collaboration because requirements, map data and interface changes can be reviewed in shared development environments. On-site workshops can still help when the map reflects complex logistics, field processes or stakeholder workflows in Germany.

Ask how the specialist handles tile providers, coordinate systems, clustering, mobile performance and inaccurate or missing locations. A strong Leaflet portfolio should show clear interaction design, maintainable layer logic and practical attention to loading states and accessibility.

Leaflet can display OpenStreetMap tiles, but the library and the tile service are separate components. The project still needs an appropriate tile provider, correct attribution, sensible usage policies and separate services for tasks such as geocoding or routing.

Common issues include maps rendering at the wrong size, slow loading from too many markers, mismatched coordinate systems and unclear licensing for tiles or geocoding. Leaflet specialists prevent these problems by planning data flows, using suitable plugins and testing the map within the application’s actual responsive layout.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Leaflet in their recent projects is 91 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 728 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Leaflet in their recent projects, 100% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 43% hold at least a Master's degree, and 7% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Leaflet in their recent projects have 17 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.9 years.
