Overview

Based in Hamburg. I work on cloud infrastructure at Ember AI. Mentored 5 engineers through their first promotion. Moved 88% of infrastructure traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Before that: IKEA and Uber. Most at home with Linux and Kubernetes. Board games, hiking, and terrible puns.
