Cloud & Solutions Architect · Cloud Engineer
I design the systems that keep a pan-European healthcare platform running — Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes, and the pipelines and observability that hold it all together.
Architect of running systems
I'm a Cloud & Solutions Architect with 15+ years in the industry. I came up as a hands-on developer across Java, .NET, Python, and Node.js — and that engineering background is what I now bring to infrastructure and architecture. Today I lead infrastructure operations and architectural design for a pan-European healthcare platform at SYNLAB International.
I like the parts most people avoid: scaling cloud-native architectures, tightening delivery pipelines, and untangling the infrastructure problems that only show up under real load. Still close to the code — I move fluently between application development and the platforms that run it. More detail lives on LinkedIn.
