What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable AI infrastructure and developer platforms where I can own architecture, enable self-service, improve cost and reliability, and mentor engineers.

At Tikal, I build AI infrastructure and internal developer platforms across multiple products, including autonomous troubleshooting agents, AWS Bedrock foundations, GPU-accelerated Kubernetes, and RAG workloads using Pinecone and Neo4j. I cut AI token spend by 20–80%, reduced infrastructure drift by 90%, and shortened service provisioning from days to under an hour.

Previously, I delivered 99.95% uptime for Mytheresa’s high-traffic e-commerce platform supporting over €700M in annual revenue, modernizing EKS, CI/CD, security, and observability. I also build and write about practical agentic systems, trusted company knowledge bases, LLM cost engineering, and secure AI tooling.
