Germany

Message

At SAP, I designed, architected, and implemented the Backup—Restore—Operator. I also provide engineering leadership in a cloud-native organization and advise teams on cloud-native migration.

At Red Hat, I contributed to etcd and Kubernetes upstream work as a Senior Software Engineer. I delivered OpenShift etcd features, Azure Disk CSI Migration, and an OpenShift CFE project to export Prometheus data to Kafka.

At Siemens Mobility, I architected and delivered an IoT data platform on AWS within Siemens MindSphere. I also worked on time-series forecasting for predictive maintenance and railway arrival times.

Earlier, I architected data platforms on private cloud and AWS, and worked on Java products including Yellow HR Suite and iAgent. My background spans software, databases, cloud infrastructure, and AI engineering, supported by two Master’s degrees in Computer Science.
