About me

I'm a software engineer focused on cloud infrastructure and security. Currently I'm building SAP AI's infrastructure.

My background spans platform security at SAP and high-throughput microservices. I'm happiest close to the infrastructure: Kubernetes, GitOps, and event-driven architectures.

I previously built a telemetry system that monitors and draws analytics for millions of vehicles across Europe.

Currently

Software Engineer

· SAP
  • Co-developed the Application Vulnerability Report (AVR) — a platform-wide service scanning runtime applications across Cloud Foundry to surface open-source vulnerabilities at SAP scale, now part of SAP’s All-in on AI initiative.
  • Co-architected AVR’s scanning pipeline with a Kafka ingestion layer and Redis caching tier, improving scan throughput and cutting end-to-end detection latency.
  • Designed and operate GitOps pipelines on BTP and Gardener with Helm, Flux, and Kustomize for reproducible, audit-friendly deployments.
  • Contributing to SAP's open-source Crossplane Providers — Kubernetes-native controllers that let teams provision and manage SAP BTP services declaratively through the Crossplane control plane. Owner of the AI Core Provider.

What I build for clients

Need help shipping something secure and scalable? These are the areas I work in.

AI Adoption

Transform your business to become fully AI managed.

Revenue Generation

Engineering solutions that drive revenue. Any industry.

Cloud Security

Vulnerability scanning, security tooling, and defensible pipelines.

GitOps & IaC

Reproducible deployments with Flux, Helm, and Terraform.

Event-Driven Systems

High-throughput services with Kafka and caching at scale.

Cloud Architecture

Resilient infrastructure on Hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Kubernetes.

Coaching

I coach software teams at companies that want to build like big tech — without the big tech budget. Drawing on years of building infrastructure at scale, I work with your engineers directly to raise the bar on delivery, reliability, and engineering culture.

Engineering Practices

Code review culture, CI/CD maturity, testing strategies, and incident response — the habits that separate high-performing teams from the rest.

AI Maturity

Level up your team on AI adoption, Kubernetes, GitOps, observability, and security. Hands-on, not slide decks.

Team Scaling

Hiring, onboarding, and structuring engineering teams that stay productive as they grow. From 5 engineers to 50.

Certifications
