AWS Cloud Architect at Editis leading generative-AI projects with Terraform, Lambda and Amazon Bedrock.

At Editis, I’m leading eight AWS cloud projects in parallel, including four generative-AI projects. I design and deploy architectures with Terraform, AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock, while coordinating technical teams and contributing hands-on.

At Claranet, I led and contributed to AWS cloud transformation and infrastructure-build projects, including a mass migration of approximately 800 instances. I delivered infrastructure as code with Terraform and worked on secure AWS Landing Zones and network architectures.

As an independent consultant, I also deployed Microsoft Sentinel for an SME client, covering more than 500 users and 250 virtual machines. For a large-enterprise client in the luxury sector, I designed and deployed LAN infrastructure across two building projects.

I’m an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, with experience across cloud infrastructure, DevOps, security and enterprise networking. I’m currently leading generative-AI projects and apply Infrastructure as Code, security and cost-optimisation practices.
