SoftCrafts – IT Consulting
I'm a Cloud Architect and Applied AI Engineer with 7+ years designing and delivering cloud platforms on GCP and Azure – taking architecture decisions all the way to production across 50+ product teams. I've pitched cloud strategy at CEO and management level, secured the decision and owned the rollout, and I'm comfortable translating technical trade-offs for engineers and executives alike.
Building on that foundation, I help German enterprises bring AI into production – from RAG systems over official documentation to agentic pipelines and real-time conversational voice products.
With a hands-on full-stack background in Python and Golang, I don't just draw diagrams: I ship and operate the systems myself. My network of freelancing colleagues can add specialized capacity for short-term migration and build-up phases.

What I offer
From the first architecture decision to a system running reliably in production.
Cloud Architecture
Migration strategies and cloud-native platforms on GCP and Azure – designed for scalability, governance and substantially lower running costs.
AI Engineering
Production LLM applications: RAG pipelines with grounded, source-backed answers, agentic workflows, LLM-based evaluation loops and low-latency voice AI.
Reliability & Security
SRE practices, SLOs, monitoring, disaster recovery and zero-trust security concepts that keep your systems available without slowing teams down.
Advisory & Enablement
Technical leadership, executive-level strategy and hands-on knowledge transfer so your teams can own and evolve what we build together.
Selected projects
-
Jun 2026 – Present
AI Platform Engineer
- AI-Driven Bureaucracy Automation: end-to-end development of a citizen-facing AI assistant designed to automate German bureaucratic processes, giving citizens a single conversational entry point to fragmented government services.
- Ground-Up RAG Implementation: architected and built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system from scratch over official German government documentation, engineering the full ingestion and retrieval pipeline for accurate, grounded responses across a wide range of public services.
- Agentic Web Scraping & Form Discovery: designed an agentic scraping pipeline that crawls official government websites and leverages LLMs to autonomously evaluate pages.

Nov 2021 – Present
Software Engineer & Cloud Architect
- Migration Strategy: developed the GCP and GitHub Enterprise migration strategy for 50+ product teams and provided hands-on assistance during their migration, contributing to a scalable development environment.
- Cost & Infrastructure Optimization: eliminated almost all on-premise costs by shutting down legacy systems, and reduced annual costs by 50% by migrating on-premise traffic from Meshery to Apigee on GCP.
- Security & Disaster Recovery: centralized cloud security posture with Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC), reduced users with administrative privileges by 20% through granular Cloud IAM policies, and saved 80% on backup costs with an automated disaster recovery strategy.
- Network & CI/CD Management: managed the public-facing load balancing infrastructure on GCP, including Cloud Armor and DNS, and reduced build times by 20% through a GitHub Actions migration.

Jun 2022 – Jun 2025
Technical Lead
- Greenfield Platform Architecture: acted as Technical Lead to architect and build an entirely new, "Uber-like" remote driving platform from scratch, establishing a highly reliable system that reduced platform outages by 90% for an automotive client.
- Azure Ecosystem & Cloud Adoption Framework: engineered the foundational infrastructure on Azure DevOps, Azure Entra and Azure Stack, designing the entire zero-to-one architecture in strict alignment with Azure's CAF for enterprise-grade governance, security and scalable growth from day one.
- Cloud-Native & Event-Driven Systems: refactored legacy applications into a modern event-driven architecture of stateless Golang and Python microservices, enabling horizontal scalability and seamless deployment rollouts.
- Technical Strategy & Leadership: directed a team of 4 developers and mentored 2 juniors, driving the technical vision, enforcing architectural best practices and securing executive buy-in for the overarching cloud strategy.
