Barmstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
I’ve spent 30+ years designing and evolving enterprise IT platforms, turning complex environments into scalable, reliable systems that actually work in practice. I enjoy bridging traditional infrastructure with modern cloud-native approaches, and I’ve built deep hands-on expertise across Kubernetes, OpenShift, VMware, and Ansible automation. Over the years, I’ve worked across everything from legacy systems to cutting-edge platforms, which gives me a broad, practical perspective. At the end of the day, I focus on building infrastructure that’s resilient, future-ready, and aligned with real business needs. ______________________ Currently seeking roles as: Cloud Architect, Cloud Solutions Architect, Senior/Lead Infrastructure Architect, Platform Architect, DevOps Architect, SRE Architect, or Enterprise IT Architect (cloud/platform-focused).
