10+ years of DevOps experience, mostly on AWS. I run Kubernetes platforms on Amazon EKS, ship with Argo CD, and automate the repetitive work so teams can deploy safely and often.

I build and run the platforms teams deploy on

I have been a Senior DevOps Engineer at Delivery Hero in Berlin since December 2020. I work on Kubernetes platforms running on Amazon EKS: I manage service deployments with Argo CD, upgrade our clusters to new Kubernetes versions, and work with CAST AI to keep compute cost under control. I also run Apache Airflow for data pipelines and look after the Salesforce release process from sandbox to production.

Before that I worked at EQS Group, Standard Chartered and Pratian Technologies. I moved a production Docker Swarm cluster to Kubernetes, put infrastructure and pipelines into code with Terraform and Jenkins, and built CI/CD for a healthcare application.

Recently I have been building AI agents in Python and MCP servers that help my team with everyday operations work, such as automating Jira ticketing.
