Senior Azure DevOps Consultant
Enterprise Cloud Architecture & Automation
20+ years designing enterprise cloud architecture for Fortune 500 clients. I specialize in Azure Landing Zones, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep), and CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines). From high-availability multi-region setups to Azure Governance and DevSecOps—I deliver scalable, secure, and audit-ready solutions.
Risk-Free Azure Assessment Guarantee
If my initial 14-day Azure architecture audit doesn't demonstrate clear ROI, you don't pay the invoice. No questions asked.
Professionally insured up to €10M for liability coverage.

ADVISORY + BLUEPRINTAzure DevOps & Infrastructure Training
Accelerate your team's cloud maturity with hands-on workshops covering Azure Landing Zones, Terraform modules, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and Azure Governance. My goal is to create genuine "AHA!" moments — when everything clicks.
Code-Centric Best Practices
Focus on modular Terraform design, advanced CI/CD patterns (GitHub Actions), and GitOps principles directly applicable to your repository standards.
Contextual Workshops
Training based on your specific Azure environment and challenges, not generic examples. Ensures maximum relevance and immediate adoption by the team.
The "AHA!" Moment Philosophy
I don't just teach how to write Terraform modules or configure pipelines. I focus on the "why" — the moment when a trainee truly understands the reasoning behind a pattern or practice.
Real understanding comes when someone can independently decide "this is the right approach for this situation" — not because they memorized a template, but because they grasp the underlying principles. That's when learning becomes permanent and transferable. My workshops are designed to trigger these breakthrough moments through real-world scenarios, guided discovery, and connecting abstract concepts to tangible business outcomes.
What Azure Clients Say
"He transformed our chaotic Azure infrastructure into a predictable, MLOps-ready platform. The 14-day architecture audit alone justified the entire investment. His strategic guidance on Landing Zones and governance is unmatched."
J. Kovář
CTO, Leading E-commerce Company
"His Terraform and Azure DevOps standards became the foundation for our entire engineering team. He's not just an architect; he's a highly organized force multiplier who instantly became a predictable member of our Scrum team. Our CI/CD pipelines are now fully automated and self-service."
M. Richter
Senior DevOps Manager, Global Finance
Azure DevOps Engineering Standards
Enterprise-grade delivery: scalable, secure, and fully documented solutions designed for long-term maintainability and team independence.
State-of-the-Art Code & MLOps
Strict modularity, readability, and clean code principles. I design IaC ready to handle complex AI/ML training and serving pipelines (MLOps).
Versioned Documentation
I deliver complete Runbooks and architectural diagrams (C4 Model) alongside the code, guaranteeing zero vendor lock-in and immediate team takeover.
Mandatory Security
Security is automated and enforced via IaC Scans and Azure Policy. Every Pull Request must pass checks before deployment (Security Shift Left).
Leadership & Process Rigor
I drive team maturity through mentoring, and integrate seamlessly into Agile/Scrum workflows, ensuring structured delivery and predictable project velocity.
AI-Augmented Engineering with Local LLM
I stay ahead of the curve by leveraging a self-hosted, fine-tuned LLM running entirely on my local infrastructure. This AI assistant accelerates my workflow — from code generation to documentation — while ensuring zero data leakage.
Your proprietary code, architecture details, and business logic never leave my secure environment. This approach combines cutting-edge AI productivity with enterprise-grade confidentiality — no cloud AI APIs, no third-party data exposure.
