Engagement

I take on a small number of engagements at a time and deliver them end-to-end, from the first architecture decision to handover.

What I Take On

  • Greenfield data platforms

    A complete platform from nothing: cloud infrastructure, ingestion, transformation, and analytics, defined as code and reproducible across environments.

  • Event-driven systems

    Replacing manual handoffs and batch jobs with systems that react to events as they happen: webhooks, streaming, serverless backends.

  • Cloud-native automation

    Turning spreadsheet-driven and manual processes into automated pipelines with a single source of truth and full auditability.

  • AI integration & retrieval

    RAG pipelines and retrieval layers over enterprise data, with evaluation frameworks so quality is measured, not assumed.

  • Platform migrations

    Moving legacy warehouses, pipelines, and orchestration to modern platforms: mapping what exists, planning the migration, and executing it without disrupting operations.

How an Engagement Runs

  1. 01

    Scoping

    We define the outcome, the deliverables, and the boundaries in writing before any code exists. You know what you are getting and when.

  2. 02

    Build

    Production-grade from the first commit. Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, security, and observability are part of the build, not afterthoughts bolted on before go-live.

  3. 03

    Handover

    Documentation, knowledge transfer, and a system your team can own and extend. An engagement ends with your engineers in control, not dependent on me.

Fit

A good fit: a defined outcome that needs senior, end-to-end ownership. Greenfield builds, platform migrations, modernising a manual or fragmented process, or making enterprise data usable by AI systems.

Not a fit: open-ended staff augmentation without a deliverable. I work best when there is a system to ship and a clear definition of done.

Working Languages

I work in English and German. For DACH teams, the entire engagement can run in German: documentation, workshops, and day-to-day communication.
