Principal DevOps Engineer at adesso SE. 15+ years of building cloud infrastructure, automation, and platforms. I move teams off manual, brittle ops and onto GitOps-driven platforms that mostly run themselves.

Lately I spend a lot of time wiring up AI to handle the DevOps work nobody wants to do by hand — incident triage, IaC reviews, that kind of thing.

• 🤖 AI Automation for DevOps: Trying to automate the boring parts of platform engineering. Terraform PR reviews, Kubernetes debugging, docs that write themselves. Hit or miss so far, but the hits are worth it.
• ☁️ Azure Platform Engineering: Internal developer platforms on Azure with Terraform, AKS, and GitOps. Dev teams get a clear path to production — security and compliance baked in, not bolted on.
• 🔄 GitOps at Scale: Multi-cluster Argo CD and Flux setups with progressive delivery and drift detection. git push as the single source of truth.
• 🎓 Mentoring & Knowledge Sharing: Helping engineers move into platform and SRE roles. Talking to people and sharing what I learnt.

• 🥇 Built GitOps platforms on AKS that other client teams ended up copying as their baseline.
• 🤖 Brought AI into DevOps workflows — automated Terraform reviews, LLM-assisted on-call — cut MTTR by roughly 60%.
• 🛡️ Wired policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno) into pipelines so misconfigs get caught before they hit prod.
• 📉 Cloud cost optimization with FinOps and IaC — clients saw real savings within the first quarter.
• 🎤 Talk, write, and mentor around DevOps, GitOps, and where AI fits into operations.
