Resume

I always kept with the idea of having my resume public. This is not yet synced with my LinkedIn profile. So in case of any doubt, LinkedIn is the more current version.

Head of Software Engineering

Angelbird Technologies, Austria
Nov 2023 - Jul 2024

Angelbird Technologies, as a hardware-focussed company, was an entirely new experience for me. I have spent the majority of my previous career within environments where software products were already established as company strategy. Providing the necessary perspective and focusing on sustainable, modern software engineering within a non-software centric environment was a huge eye-opener and a great time for learning.

Although for personal reasons, I had to leave this role earlier than I would have wished for, I’m grateful for having met some incredibly nice and committed people.

  • Software Strategy
  • Software Engineering Partnerships
  • Technical/Engineering Leadership
  • Hands-On Development (Golang, Monolithic, Embedded)

Staff Engineer

New Work SE, Austria
Jun 2022 - Oct 2023

At onlyfy (part of New Work SE), I focused on building up and improving sustainability and scalability in cloud-native engineering practice.

My focus specifically was on developer experience and improving longevity and iterateability of infrastructure automation. This includes the defining technical and non-technical interfaces to ensure flexibility on user side, as well as organisational stability overall.

  • Cloud-native System Architecture
  • Sustainable & Resilient Automation
  • Technical/Engineering Leadership
  • Hands-On Development (Golang, K8s Controllers, Microservices, Networking)

Head of Cloud Infrastructure

SQUER Solutions, Austria
Sep 2021 - Apr 2022

At SQUER Solutions, I’ve been leading the Cloud Native Infrastructure Engineering efforts as well as the implementation of wholistic DevOps practices within our diverse project ecosystem.

Within various areas of expertise at SQUER Solutions, a strong Infrastructure engineering and DevOps practice allowed us to offer wholistic design and implementation services and ultimately help our customers and partners succeed faster in their Cloud Native journey.

  • Cloud-native Infrastructure Expertise
  • Consulting Services and Customer Success
  • Technical/Engineering Leadership
  • Hands-On Development (Golang, Python; K8s Controllers, CNI)

Cloud Architect / Engineering Lead

Hilti AG, Liechtenstein
May 2019 - Aug 2021

At Hilti the opportunity arose, to design and lead development of a new cloud-native and multi-purpose infrastructure platform to serve as a foundation for various projects around the globe. I took the opportunity, moving from the start-up sphere into the corporate world, with Hilti not only just being a technical innovator, but also a global front-runner in its various business areas.

  • Cloud-native Infrastructure Design
  • Technical/Engineering Leadership
  • Kubernetes-centric Architecture & Development
  • Hands-On Development (Golang, Python; K8s Controllers, Terraform Plugins, Ansible Modules)

Developer / Consultant

Loodse, Germany
Nov 2018 - Apr 2019

Loodse, with their own range of kubernetes-focused tech, is not only one an active player in the global kubernetes ecosystem, but also an innovation driver. Working here, I learned a lot about what it means to work on the frontier of modern infrastructure design and how to learn and adapt quickly, but also how to facilitate implementation and design for environments traditionally not used to fast-paced iteration.

  • Kubernetes Expertise
  • Cloud Native Design and Architecture
  • DevOps - Consulting and Training
  • Hands-On Development (Golang; K8s Controllers)

Software Developer

Braintribe, Austria
Sep 2013 - Oct 2018

Braintribe is a Vienna, Austria-based start-up, with a tech-heavy focus, developing a generic computing and data normalization platform, and various solutions on top of it. I spent some wonderfully rich and insightful years here, acquiring and honing skills and a well-rounded view on software architecture and abstraction design. Initially starting to work on test automation, my role quickly shifted towards engineering infrastructure automation solutions for the platform and implementing DevOps componentry for the development, test and deployment workflows.

The move to the Cloud for the platform, as a scalable service to build solutions of any size and networking requirements, required me to build up a deep understanding of modern infrastructure architecture and operations and a strong skillset to develop such. Working in a start-up really is the greatest learning experience, from business to tech skills. Nothing is more unforgiving than the deep end…

  • Build, Design and Implement Product-based Cloud Services (Paas)
  • Infrastructure Automation and Monitoring (DevOps, Continuous Deployment & Delivery)
  • Hands-On Development (Go, Java, Ruby; Installers, DevX Tooling, Infrastructure, Test Automation)

Technical Test Consultant

Tricentis, Austria
Feb 2013 - Aug 2013

Working as a Technical Test Consultant with different clients in Switzerland and Austria, I had a chance to understand the fundamentals of Test Automation in high-risk business areas (banking) and an understanding of the infrastructural and operational dependencies for efficient test automation. Tricentis was a great employer, that grew a lot since then - awesome to see!

  • Test Automation
  • Test Infrastructure
  • Consulting - TOSCA TestSuite
