Bridging business strategy and technology architecture — builder at heart.

Enterprise Architecture & Platform Leader with 20+ years across cloud ecosystems, distributed systems and AI. I advise at C-level, design the architecture that follows, and stay close enough to the code to know the design actually holds.

01 · What I do

Four things I bring into every team.

No buzzwords. These are the four moves I'm consistently hired for, and the four I still enjoy doing personally.

01

Enterprise Cloud Architecture

Reference and target architectures for hybrid multi-cloud estates across AWS, GCP and Azure. Built around the constraints that actually govern enterprises — sovereignty, cost, and the systems already in production.

02

AI & Agentic Systems

LLM integration and agentic automation grounded in real process flows. Where models meet brittle enterprise systems, I design the orchestration, evaluation and guardrails that make them shippable.

03

Platform Transformation

Translating between executive intent and engineering reality. I shape platform strategies that survive contact with both — what the business is buying, and what the teams can actually own and run.

04

Applied Engineering

Builder at heart. I prototype the load-bearing parts of an architecture myself — PoCs, spikes and technical validation — so decisions are made against working code, not slides.

02 · Applied Engineering

A few things I built end to end.

Enough to show how I think. The rest is a conversation.

01Media Intelligence

Hybrid Multi-Cloud Media Intelligence Pipeline

A hybrid multi-cloud pipeline that tags and describes a large photo archive with AI — without the originals ever leaving home. Each cloud does only the slice of inference it's genuinely best at.

02IoT

GateKeeper — iOS-controlled IoT Gate Opener

An iOS app that opens a real gate through a chain of cloud, edge and a reverse-engineered RF signal. The interesting part is the trust boundary — secure MQTT stops at the edge, the microcontroller is never exposed.

SoundTiles — Offline-First iOS Soundboard

An offline-first iOS soundboard where the cloud is a sync layer, never a dependency. Playback stays local and instant, and state reconciles cleanly the moment the network returns.

Twenty years, in short.

The short version. The full story is a conversation away.

Eight years at Amazon as Senior Solutions Architect, shipping voice and media experiences at scale across 30+ strategic partners. At PwC I led cloud architecture engagements from inside customer teams — and today, as Director Private Cloud at IONOS, I set the technical direction of a European platform for GPU and sovereign workloads. The arc is consistent: deep technical roles, close to the customer, growing leadership without ever losing touch with the code.
