Last position:
Software Engineer & Cloud AI Developer at TANGILITY GmbH
Built Python-based AI microservices and integrations for an AEC/VR Unity-based SaaS app, focusing on LLM/VLM capabilities, retrieval-backed systems, RESTful APIs, containerized deployment, and an automation microservice for the CAD-to-Unity pipeline.
- Developed a custom Hybrid A* based algorithm in C# to simulate hospital scenarios and detect early-stage design conflicts from collision/spatial data and generate structured reports.
- Solved and automated the time-consuming problem of converting CAD files to usable Unity environments with a custom-engineered and real-time pipeline using a ZeroMQ-based communication layer to distribute workloads across multiple processes and achieve real-time performance.
- Built a Dockerized FastAPI pipeline for CAD-to-Unity automation, combining vision-based object matching, image embeddings, and precomputed metadata to automatically map CAD objects to Unity behavior scripts, assign properties, and reduce repeated AI inference calls.

About the technology
Enterprise Linux
Rocky Linux is a community-driven enterprise Linux distribution built for stable server workloads. Companies use it for application hosts, internal tools, web services, and infrastructure that needs a long support cycle and a familiar RPM-based stack.
Where it fits
It is a common choice when teams want a RHEL-compatible system without changing their toolchain. Rocky Linux also shows up in CentOS replacement projects, new VM builds, and cloud images where predictable behavior matters.
Typical work
- Server installs and image builds
- CentOS to Rocky Linux migrations
- Package, repo, and update management
- Security hardening and access control
- Troubleshooting system services and boot issues
Skills that matter
Strong Rocky Linux professionals know systemd, SELinux, firewalld, DNF, and RPM packaging. They can read logs, trace service failures, tune performance, and keep configurations reproducible across staging and production.
When to bring in help
Bring in freelance expertise when a migration is time-sensitive, a legacy server needs stabilization, or a platform team needs extra hands for rollout work. In Germany, companies often need specialists who can work well with English-speaking teams and integrate cleanly with local IT operations.
What good delivery looks like
Good work leaves clear runbooks, repeatable setup steps, and clean handover notes. The best specialists verify compatibility with surrounding services, document what changed, and make future patching and recovery simple for the next team.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Rocky Linux? These answers cover the essentials.
Rocky Linux is used for stable server environments that need a familiar enterprise Linux base. Teams run web servers, internal services, databases, CI runners, and virtual machines on it. It is especially useful when reliability and compatibility matter more than a custom stack.
Rocky Linux is usually weighed against AlmaLinux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The main question is compatibility: many teams want a RHEL-like system with the same package habits and operational feel. A good specialist can explain the trade-offs around support model, tooling, and migration path.
Rocky Linux is often chosen as a CentOS replacement for servers that already use RPM-based workflows. It is a practical fit when you want to keep service layouts, scripts, and admin habits close to the old environment. The key is to check application compatibility before the cutover.
A strong Rocky Linux specialist usually also knows SELinux, systemd, firewalld, DNF, RPM, SSH, and shell scripting. In many projects, Ansible and basic networking knowledge matter just as much. Those skills help with repeatable builds, hardening, and faster incident response.
A Rocky Linux project can be simple or demanding depending on the workload. A fresh server build may only need someone comfortable with standard administration, while a migration, hardening effort, or production recovery needs deeper operational experience. The best signal is hands-on work with the same package and service model.
Yes, Rocky Linux work is often done remotely because most tasks are command-line based and easy to review through tickets or change plans. For Germany-based companies, remote collaboration is common, but onsite time can help during hardware checks, network changes, or sensitive cutovers. Clear documentation matters in both setups.
Look for a Rocky Linux freelancer who can explain a past migration, a hardening step, or a recovery process in plain language. Good signs are clean documentation, careful testing, and a clear way of handling updates and rollback. Ask for examples of service fixes, not just general Linux knowledge.
Before you start with Rocky Linux, ask how the expert handles package sources, security updates, service restarts, and rollback. If you are replacing CentOS or another RHEL-compatible system, ask about configuration drift and application testing. Those questions quickly show whether the person has real delivery experience.
