Building, scaling, and consolidating enterprise platforms — that's what I've been brought in to do for the past ten years.

Leading platform engineering at Orcrist — GitOps platform for law enforcement on GKE

Embedded in engineering teams at Orcrist, E.ON, Allianz, Volkswagen, Bundesdruckerei, Nelly Solutions, and Telefonica. I take over backlog, discovery, and operating rhythm and stay until the team runs on its own.

Currently at Orcrist, leading a GitOps / IDP platform for law enforcement on GKE — Zero Trust security, FluxCD, policy-as-code. At E.ON, I productionized AI serving 8M+ energy customers under KRITIS: 2M+ monthly LLM interactions at 92% accuracy, MLOps pipelines, agentic observability. At Allianz, I built developer self-service with built-in compliance — cloud provisioning from over a year to weeks. At Volkswagen, I built the commerce backbone for five brands — 1M+ users with real-time pricing and live inventory.

Before that, six years at Capgemini and Erminas, where I learned the fundamentals: software engineering, systems design, and delivery across fintech, retail, insurance, and aerospace. I studied welding engineering, computer science, health economics, and machine learning — research at four universities across Hamburg, Copenhagen, San Diego, and the University of Federal Armed Forces. Work in enough different worlds and you know the patterns.

How I work

I embed, I don't advise

Slack, Jira, incident calls — I work where the decisions happen. The only way to understand a platform is from inside it. Most engagements start with a week of just listening.

Security is the foundation

GDPR, BSI, KRITIS, Gematik — I've shipped under all of them. Compliance isn't a gate at the end. It's a design constraint from day one.

Platforms, not projects

project ends with the deadline. A platform has users who depend on it long after.

Teams, not systems

The goal isn't a great platform.

I install operational playbooks.
