Technical Lead at Galeria, Kubernetes Operator author and organiser of Cloud Native Münster. 15 years of .Net, Go, Kubernetes, IaC, Cloud and turning monoliths into systems teams can actually run. I explain all of it on YouTube and at conferences.
I build platforms, then show my work
Technical Lead at Galeria, Kubernetes Operator author and organiser of Cloud Native Münster. 14 years of Go, Kubernetes and turning monoliths into systems teams can actually run.
For engineers who build. No slide decks, just the terminal, the code and the reasoning behind it.
From an empty repo to a reconciling controller: CRD design, the reconcile loop and the mistakes I made building production Operators at anynines.
COMING SOON · SUBSCRIBE TO GET NOTIFIEDLong-form notes on DevOps, cloud and Go, for when a topic needs more than a video.
How to add two-factor authentication to a Go service.
Apache Kafka is the open-source event streaming platform behind thousands of high-performance data pipelines. Here is how to start with it.
What Kubernetes does for deploying, scaling and managing containerised applications, and the core concepts you need first.
I speak about Go, Kubernetes, platform engineering and MLOps: the patterns that held up in real systems and the ones that didn't.
Brought back after the restructuring to lead the team. I set the architecture for breaking the legacy shop into Go microservices, own the Kubernetes and AWS strategy for seasonal peaks, and run incident response.
Built managed data services as custom Operators and contributed to Klutch, the open-source project for database management. Added Crossplane for multi-cloud provisioning and CLIs that turned complex ops into one command.
Ran three Kubernetes clusters with GitLab CI and ArgoCD, then migrated the core infrastructure from OTC to Oracle Cloud with Terraform. Added Prometheus and Grafana monitoring, plus Vault for secrets.
Wrote Go microservices and custom Kubernetes controllers for an edge-computing platform. Provisioned across AWS, GCP and Azure through their SDKs, on an event-driven core built on Kafka and NATS.
Six years designing, building and supporting telecom web applications in .NET. As senior engineer I led a major refactor and new version of the core products, worked through performance bottlenecks on large volumes of data, and mentored junior developers.
Also: 5G VR and live-streaming demos for Ericsson at Mobile World Congress, built at Room One.
It's the local CNCF community group. I curate the talks and host the meetups. If you're passing through Münster with something worth sharing, there's a slot for you.
