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.

About the technology
Mapping platform
Mapbox is a location technology platform for embedding maps, search, routing and navigation into digital products. Its tools support custom visual styles, live data layers, geocoding and location-aware interactions across web, mobile and automotive applications.
Core building blocks
The ecosystem includes Mapbox GL JS for browser maps, the Maps SDKs for Android and iOS, and APIs for tiles, styles, directions, geocoding, search and isochrones. Specialists also work with Mapbox Studio, vector tiles, GeoJSON, the Mapbox Style Specification and Mapbox Navigation SDK.
Typical products
- Customer-facing maps for travel, logistics and mobility services
- Route planning, turn-by-turn navigation and delivery tracking
- Store locators, property search and location-based marketplaces
- Operational dashboards with vehicles, assets or field activity
- Data visualisations for urban planning, climate and infrastructure
Mapbox is useful wherever location must be clear, interactive and connected to business data.
Project expertise
Companies bring in freelance specialists when a product needs a custom map experience, a migration from another mapping stack or reliable integration with live operational data. Work may include map styling, API design, mobile SDK integration, performance tuning, access-token setup and usage monitoring. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while workshops with product, data and design teams may benefit from German-language communication.
Adjacent skills
Strong professionals combine mapping knowledge with frontend or mobile development, spatial data handling and product design. Relevant skills include JavaScript or TypeScript, React, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, REST APIs, cloud services, SQL and PostGIS. They understand coordinate systems, geometry formats, tile delivery, browser rendering and privacy-sensitive handling of location data.
Quality signals
Look for a specialist who can explain the choice between raster and vector tiles, design a maintainable style system and keep map interactions responsive under real data volumes. Good project evidence shows working search, routing, clustering, offline behaviour or data overlays rather than screenshots alone. Ask how they test geocoding accuracy, API failures, mobile battery use, accessibility and fallback behaviour when location services are unavailable.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Mapbox? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Mapbox is used to add interactive maps, address search, route planning, navigation and location-based data to web and mobile products. Companies use it for logistics tracking, mobility services, travel products, real estate search, retail locators and operational dashboards.
Mapbox offers strong control over map styling, vector data and the user experience, which can suit products that need a distinct visual identity. Google Maps Platform provides broad place and business data, while OpenStreetMap is an open data source that often requires additional services for hosting, search, routing and support.
A strong Mapbox specialist may also work with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, native mobile SDKs, GeoJSON, vector tiles, SQL and PostGIS. Experience with APIs, cloud infrastructure, accessibility and location-data privacy helps turn a map component into a dependable product feature.
The right Mapbox experience depends on the scope. A simple map or marker view may need focused frontend support, while navigation, offline maps, live tracking or large geospatial datasets call for deeper knowledge of SDKs, rendering, routing, data pipelines and production monitoring.
Mapbox projects are often well suited to remote collaboration because specialists can review styles, APIs and code through shared repositories and design tools. On-site workshops can still help when mapping requirements involve field operations, transport teams or complex stakeholder decisions in Germany.
Review a Mapbox specialist’s live examples and ask how they handled loading performance, API errors, clustering, responsive layouts and changing geospatial data. A strong professional can explain technical trade-offs clearly and show how the implementation was tested on real devices, browsers and usage scenarios.
Mapbox provides mobile SDKs and navigation capabilities for applications that need route guidance, voice instructions or location tracking. Offline behaviour depends on the selected SDK, licensed features, downloaded map regions and the product’s approach to syncing routes and data.
Before starting with Mapbox, clarify the target devices, map regions, expected traffic, data sources, routing needs and required user interactions. Freelancers should also confirm token security, style ownership, API limits, offline requirements, attribution obligations and how the client will measure map performance.
