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.

About the technology
What Mapbox provides
Mapbox is a location platform for building interactive maps, search, routing, navigation, and geospatial interfaces. Its APIs, SDKs, map styles, and data services support web, iOS, Android, and embedded experiences. Teams use it when location needs to be a central part of a product rather than a simple static image.
Products and use cases
Mapbox supports customer-facing products and internal tools across many sectors. Common deliverables include:
- Interactive maps with custom layers, markers, popups, and drawing tools
- Address search, geocoding, reverse geocoding, and place discovery
- Route planning, travel-time views, turn-by-turn navigation, and fleet tracking
- Store locators, delivery zones, logistics dashboards, and asset maps
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong specialists work with Mapbox GL JS, the Maps SDKs for iOS and Android, Search APIs, Directions APIs, and the Navigation SDK. They also understand vector tiles, GeoJSON, style specifications, map projections, and spatial data pipelines. Common surrounding skills include TypeScript, JavaScript, React, native mobile development, REST APIs, and cloud services.
When companies need expertise
Companies often bring in freelance professionals when a product needs a polished map experience, a location migration, or a reliable geospatial data workflow. Specialist support is useful when map rendering is slow, API usage is difficult to control, styling has become inconsistent, or location logic must connect with business systems. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while some projects benefit from on-site workshops with product, data, and operations teams.
Mapbox versus alternatives
Mapbox is often weighed against Google Maps Platform, HERE Technologies, and OpenStreetMap-based solutions. Its appeal lies in deep visual customization, programmable map styles, and flexible control over the user experience. The right choice depends on data coverage, routing needs, licensing, operational constraints, and how much of the map stack the team wants to own.
Signs of strong specialists
Quality is visible in both the map and the underlying implementation. Look for professionals who can explain spatial data choices, accessibility, mobile performance, caching, API security, and usage monitoring in clear terms. Useful evidence includes:
- A working map prototype with responsive interactions and meaningful loading states
- Clean style layers and well-structured geospatial data
- Practical handling of geocoding ambiguity, route failures, and offline conditions
- Tests for location logic across devices, regions, and connectivity levels
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Mapbox? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Mapbox is used to add maps, location search, routing, navigation, and geospatial visualizations to digital products. Companies use it for logistics tools, delivery experiences, travel applications, store finders, field-service systems, and location-aware dashboards.
Mapbox usually appeals to teams that need strong visual customization and more control over map presentation. Google Maps Platform can be attractive when its place data, Street View coverage, or familiar consumer experience is central to the product. The decision should also consider routing coverage, licensing, APIs, data ownership, and expected usage.
A strong Mapbox specialist often combines frontend or mobile development with geospatial knowledge. Useful adjacent skills include TypeScript, React, Swift, Kotlin, GeoJSON, vector tiles, spatial databases, REST APIs, accessibility, and performance optimization.
A focused map feature may suit a professional who has delivered similar interfaces and understands the relevant APIs. A product involving navigation, complex spatial data, mobile reliability, or high operational demands calls for broader experience with architecture, testing, monitoring, and edge cases. The scope and risk of the project matter more than a generic experience label.
Mapbox projects are often well suited to remote collaboration because code, styles, data, and API configuration can be reviewed online. Teams in Germany should define communication routines, documentation standards, and language expectations early. On-site workshops can still help when product, logistics, or operations stakeholders need to align closely.
Mapbox provides hosted tools, rendering options, search, routing, navigation components, and services around map delivery. OpenStreetMap is primarily a community-maintained data source and may require additional infrastructure or third-party services for a complete product. A specialist can assess whether the required data, control, hosting model, and maintenance workload fit the chosen approach.
Ask a Mapbox professional to explain a relevant implementation, including style layers, data flow, API error handling, accessibility, and performance decisions. Review a small working prototype or technical plan rather than relying only on visual polish. Strong specialists also identify limitations in geocoding, routing, data coverage, and mobile connectivity before development begins.
A Mapbox freelancer may deliver a responsive map interface, custom style, search and geocoding flow, route display, navigation feature, or geospatial dashboard. They may also connect location data to backend services, document configuration, add tests, and prepare monitoring for API usage and failures. The exact deliverables should be agreed around the product workflow and target devices.
