Hire the Best Terraform Developers
in Germany
Noerdlingen, Germany
I help founders and software teams turn messy technical/product situations into clear execution: architecture, delivery, technical risk, team coordination, and reliable SaaS/backend/AI platforms. I’m not a “just give me tickets” developer. My strongest work is when a product needs someone who can understand the business workflow, challenge weak assumptions, design the architecture, coordinate developers, and still go deep enough technically to build or review the critical parts. Recent work includes: - Leading backend/platform work for an industrial AI/vision SaaS product using Java/Spring Boot, AWS event-driven services, Python/FastAPI, Claude/Anthropic, MCP tool integrations, secure auth, streaming UX, and production observability. - Building a multi-tenant RAG/chatbot SaaS on Google Cloud with FastAPI, NestJS, Next.js, Firebase Auth, Cloud Run, PostgreSQL, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI embeddings/search, strict tenant isolation, and SSE streaming. - Working in a fractional CTO-style consulting role: codebase audits, technical risk assessment, engineering standards, delivery process, roadmap/scoping, vendor/team coordination, and executive-ready recommendations. Typical areas where I help: - SaaS architecture and technical leadership - AI/RAG/LLM features that need to work in production, not just demos - Backend/cloud platforms on AWS or GCP - Multi-tenant systems, auth, data isolation, and workflow design - Turning vague requirements into clear technical execution - Reviewing existing codebases and identifying what to fix first - Leading or mentoring developers while keeping delivery moving - Communicating technical risks clearly to founders and non-technical stakeholders Core stack: Java/Spring Boot, Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/Node/NestJS, React/Next.js, AWS, GCP, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Terraform, event-driven systems, Claude/Anthropic, MCP, RAG, Vertex AI. Languages: fluent English, German, and Spanish. I’m open to focused part-time advisory work as well as larger long-term engagements when the project is serious, the scope is clear, and the collaboration is built around outcomes rather than busywork.

I design, secure, and operate production-grade Kubernetes and cloud platforms used by real companies at scale, with a strong focus on security, reliability, and automation. With 12+ years of hands-on experience, I help companies build secure, scalable, and observable infrastructure across both cloud and bare-metal environments. My expertise is not based only on certifications, but on real enterprise experience operating critical systems under real production pressure. I have worked as a Senior SRE / Platform Engineer at companies such as Thryve, Getir, HelloFresh, Westwing, and Sony, where I was responsible for Kubernetes platforms, cloud architecture, CI/CD, observability, and security hardening. What I bring to your project is not “DevOps scripting”, but true production-grade platform engineering and the best practices used in large-scale enterprise environments. Most clients come to me after their Kubernetes or cloud setup becomes unmanageable, insecure, or overly complex. I help turn those environments into clean, secure, and maintainable platforms. ⸻ Core Expertise • Kubernetes cluster design, hardening, and operations (CKA / CKS level) • Multi-cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, Open Telekom Cloud, OpenStack, and hybrid environments • AWS cloud architecture (networking, IAM, security, cost optimization) • GitOps with ArgoCD / Flux, CI/CD pipelines, and automation • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, and CDK • Observability stacks: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry • Container and image security: Trivy, Cosign, SBOM, distroless images • Network Policies, Pod Security Admission, runtime security, zero-trust concepts • Running stateful workloads (databases, HAProxy, storage) inside Kubernetes • Bare-metal and hybrid Kubernetes environments I also have a programming background in Go, Python, and PHP, which helps me understand application needs deeply and design infrastructure that truly fits the workload. ⸻ Certifications • AWS Certified Solutions Architect • CKA – Certified Kubernetes Administrator • CKS – Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist

I'm an AI Engineer & Strategist (PhD in CS) who solves the #1 problem businesses face: 'We’ve spent 6 months building AI, but I still can't tell if it actually works.' Most businesses I work with are stuck with: • Features that look good but fail in production because they lack proprietary, robust logic. • Talented engineering teams who lack the specialized AI capabilities required to build auditable, verifiable systems. • Architecture that works for 10 users but will trigger massive security or cost liabilities when signing your first enterprise client. With 15+ years of experience and having architected 20+ high-stakes AI pipelines, I bridge the gap between complex AI research and agile, production-grade software engineering. I provide the senior technical expertise you need to eliminate repetitive workflows using production-grade, safe, and auditable AI automation and ensure your technology is an asset for your business or your next funding round. Recent work: • For a RegTech SaaS: Built a hybrid RAG pipeline with durable workflow orchestration (Temporal). Result: AI responses with 100% citation provenance for regulated document analysis. • For a wellness startup: Architected a 4-agent LLM coaching system with dynamic 6-layer prompt assembly and emotional intensity mapping. • For a cross-chain DEX: Engineered the backend for trustless atomic swaps between Bitcoin/Lightning and EVM/Starknet ecosystems. • Enterprise identity: Led the research and delivery of the KILT Protocol mainnet, including a Deloitte-partnered KYC integration. My pipelines consistently deliver: ✅ 40–80% reduction in manual work ✅ 99%+ accuracy, even in regulated environments ✅ Hours reclaimed per employee, per week ✅ Measurable ROI within 30–90 days How I help your business: ✅ AI strategy & advanced RAG: I provide the elite technical oversight your team needs to eliminate repetitive manual workflows, build safe AI systems, and ensure your technology is a major asset for your next funding round. ✅ Security and compliance: Deep expertise in building verifiable pipelines, secure cloud data flows, and SOC2-ready architectures. ✅ Engineering leadership: I work directly with your developers, streamline your sprint cycles, and implement CI/CD pipelines that ensure your team ships weekly, not monthly. ✅ Technical due diligence: I ensure your codebase and IP are fully optimized for institutional scrutiny during M&A or venture capital funding rounds. Technical expertise: • AI / LLMOps: Python, Pydantic AI, LangGraph, LangChain, PyTorch, Vector Databases, Graph-RAG, Semantic Search, Prompt Engineering, Model Evaluation, Fine-Tuning, Embeddings. • Backend & cloud infrastructure: TypeScript, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Azure, GCP, Distributed Systems, CI/CD. • Automation & enterprise tech: n8n, Document Intelligence (Docling), LegalTech/FinTech compliance automation, Decentralized Identity (DID). I can quickly adapt to your stack and I am always happy to learn new tools. How we can work together: ✅ Technical audit and roadmap: We start with a deep dive into your current stack. I identify friction points in accuracy or scale and provide a written assessment with specific, technical recommendations. ✅ Fractional leadership: I join your Slack/Teams, manage the development cycle, and take ownership of the hard technical decisions so you can focus on growth. ✅ Specific sprints: Need a specific RAG pipeline or smart contract protocol built? I offer fixed-scope engagements for high-priority feature launches. Want to get started? Click the "Invite to Job" button.
