I am a Cloud Security Engineer with 18+ years of experience across platform engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, and cloud security. My work focuses on designing secure, compliant, and scalable architectures across AWS and Azure, with a strong emphasis on Zero Trust, CSPM, and security-by-design principles.
I have deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and multi-cloud automation, and I regularly translate regulatory and governance requirements into practical controls and reference architectures. My background allows me to bridge engineering and security concerns while keeping delivery teams moving.
In my recent roles, I have led security architecture reviews, built multi-account governance models, implemented IAM guardrails, and improved incident response and detection capabilities across cloud environments. I also work closely with product and security stakeholders to ensure infrastructure decisions are aligned with compliance, reliability, and operational needs.
Earlier in my career, I built a broad foundation in systems engineering, DevOps, operations, clustering, virtualization, and Linux administration. That experience continues to shape how I approach cloud security: with a strong understanding of how platforms behave, where risks emerge, and how to harden systems without sacrificing usability.
I am comfortable working across infrastructure, security tooling, CI/CD, observability, identity, and compliance frameworks. I also have practical experience with AI/GenAI tooling and infrastructure, including secure self-hosted and agentic workflows.
I am based in Hamburg, Germany, and hold permanent residency. I am open to opportunities where I can contribute to cloud security architecture, governance, and secure platform engineering in complex environments.
