Engineering Leader & Systems Thinker
I bridge SRE resilience with SWE innovation to build teams that turn infrastructure complexity into AI-ready velocity at scale.
The most important asset of any company is its people. I believe that great leaders build high-performing, resilient teams that remain focused and engaged even through the most disruptive technical shifts.
Over my 18-year career, I have specialized in fostering these environments to deliver outsized business value—often in high-pressure, "impossible" scenarios.
My journey has spanned the full ecosystem of growth, from scaling global SaaS applications at startups to leading Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams at Google. Currently, I lead a software engineering team at the heart of internal cloud transformation.
In an era where the accelerating AI revolution is fundamentally reshaping infrastructure demands, I focus on engineering the platforms and abstractions that enable large-scale organizations to utilize cloud resources with maximum efficiency and velocity.
Based in Munich, Germany, I bridge the gap between deep technical resilience and the high-speed requirements of modern, AI-augmented software delivery.
Here are some of the things that keep me busy outside of work.
#family
We love to go hiking and camping with our campervan.

#guitar
I'm a classically trained guitar player but my heart is with blues and rock. My dreams of becoming a rockstar are long gone, but my passion remains.

#electronics
I've recently designed and built a portable headset mixer I use for my Zoom guitar class. I also play a lot with the Arduino and ESP platforms.

#band
Making music with others is magical. Creating this series of videos with our cover band, the Uncaught Exceptions through the pandemic was also therapeutic. I learned so much about video and audio production in the process!
#3d_printing
Need I say more? 3D printing opens up new worlds and is an endless source of fun... and frustration when things don't work as expected. Trial and error is your friend!
#3d_modeling
Even more fun is when you design something yourself. These days I'm particularly obsessed with "print in place" models. I designed this simple articulated necklace for my wife to wear - she was thrilled!

#brainfuck
Brainfuck is an esoteric language that is notoriously difficult to program in. Some years ago, I programmed a solution to the "9 digit problem".
