Experience

2024 — present

Cloud Engineer → Lead Azure Engineer

Netcloud · Switzerland / remote
- Built a Managed Cloud Foundation from scratch — the deployment engine and a scalable, manageable concept for rolling it out per customer; the architecture still holds. Shipped to 4 enterprise customers in ~1 year, won end-to-end (acquisition → architecture → managed-service operation).
- Rebuilt customers’ Azure data platforms in Terraform inside the landing-zone concept (private connectivity, best-practice security): Databricks, Data Factory, Data Lake, Azure SQL, Event Hub, Event Grid, Power BI.
- Delivered AKS end-to-end — ingress controller, TLS, Key Vault secret store — with on-prem connectivity over PostgreSQL so customers run their apps on it.
- Ran Azure tenant security & compliance screenings, and integrated Meraki (vMX, Azure Firewall, Route Server) into the connectivity concept across hub-and-spoke / hybrid topologies.
2020 — 2024

Consultant → Senior Consultant (Lead Architect)

MHP — a Porsche company · Nürnberg, Germany
- Built a secure Microsoft Power Platform framework from scratch and led the platform — 1,000–2,000 users onboarded in the first month, ~€1M/year in savings, departments enabled to build securely.
- Lead architect across ~7–10 concurrent business-critical applications; delegated ownership of the CoE, support and consultancy. Trusted advisor, including to assistants at C-level.
- FOSSIE — a ~€1M business-critical FOSS license-compliance app (Power Apps + Power Automate + Azure: App Service, landing zone, Azure SQL, Functions). The team was first to ship it where earlier attempts had failed; handed over on departure, still running in production.
- M365- & Azure-based Digital Workplace solutions, end-to-end requirements with functional & technical specs, client workshops, and pre-sales with effort estimations. (Reference: “without exception, our fullest recognition.”)
2018 — 2020

Working Student — Digitalization in Procurement

Continental (Conti Temic) · Nürnberg, Germany
- Automated reporting, databases and workflows with VBA + SQL on Oracle: procurement spend and order-award analysis, plus material-budget databases supporting annual supplier negotiations.
- Built SharePoint contract automation and a department intranet; contributed to the group-wide Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) project. (Reference: top grade — “consistently top performance.”)
2017 — 2018

Intern — Systems Engineering

AUDI AG · Ingolstadt, Germany
- Built and rolled out an Excel/VBA tool for attribute-based vehicle development across vehicle projects; designed processes (swimlane diagrams, RACI), ran a gear-shifter usability study, and worked with IBM Rational DOORS for requirements management.
