Germany-first relocation • EU Blue Card sponsorship

Platform-first architect with a strong data & AI edge.

I design and own large-scale, cloud-native platforms—spanning Kubernetes-based runtimes, enterprise data platforms (BigQuery/Dataflow/dbt/Data Vault 2.0), and production AI systems (agentic workflows with LangChain/LangGraph). I’m hands-on in critical paths: architecture, core implementation, reviews, CI/CD, and production readiness.

What I do

Build and evolve platforms that other teams can reliably ship on—balancing scalability, reliability, security, cost, and speed. I’m strongest at architecture plus pragmatic execution.

  • Platform Engineering
    Kubernetes platforms, service mesh, CI/CD, reference architectures, “golden paths”.
  • Enterprise Data Platforms
    Multi-source ingestion, orchestration, modeling (Data Vault 2.0), analytics foundations with governance-by-design.
  • Production AI & Agentic Workflows
    From PoC to productization: LLM/agent orchestration, observability, safety guardrails, and operations.

What I’m looking for

Germany-first opportunities where I can own long-lived platforms and set engineering standards across teams, as a senior IC with small-team leadership.

  • Principal Platform Architect
    Cloud-native runtime, developer experience, reliability, cost, governance.
  • Principal AI Engineer / AI Architect
    Agentic AI productization, LLMOps/AgentOps, quality frameworks, platform & infra.
