Munich, Bavaria, Germany · Remote

I help organizations design, build, and scale modern digital platforms by combining technical leadership with hands-on architecture and development. My work spans from early discovery with C-level stakeholders to detailed solution design with engineering and R&D teams, through to launch and ongoing operation of live services. My projects typically involve designing cloud architectures, implementing AI-driven features, and guiding teams through complex technical decisions. I enjoy working across strategy and engineering—translating business goals into clear technical direction and ensuring solutions are reliable, scalable, and maintainable. Typical responsibilities: • Leading technical strategy and architecture across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments • Working directly with executives to define vision, roadmap, and business value • Supporting engineering teams with hands-on prototyping, architecture, and implementation • Designing AI and RAG-based features using Claude, Bedrock, Python, and modern retrieval patterns • Structuring and modeling enterprise data for analytics and AI applications - often as a Knowledge Graph using Neo4j, dGraph, ArangoDB. Technical scope: • AWS specialist across serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, SQS, EventBridge etc.), EKS, IAM, CDK IaC • Experience with Azure and exposure to GCP in multi-cloud or hybrid architectures • Cloud-agnostic designs built around Kubernetes and open-source technologies (vLLM, Ollama, ChromaDB, Airflow, Kafka, Grafana, APISIX, Backstage, MinIO, Superset, Trino, Polars, DuckDB, Flink) • On-premise and distributed system design across Linux clusters, edge compute, and data ingestion pipelines This role combines technical leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and hands-on delivery—helping organizations take ideas from concept to production and build platforms ready for real AI adoption.
