Waarvoor in te huren
Delivered end-to-end principal-level architectural, backend engineering, and DevOps services for the digital transformation of a large German energy organisation, designing a cloud-native, event-driven Data Exchange Platform. Designed and implemented distributed backend services handling high-volume, event-driven data exchange. Led hands-on development of microservices using Kafka, Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, Debezium (CDC), and asynchronous messaging patterns. Owned CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code enabling automated, repeatable deployments. Improved platform reliability through enhanced observability, monitoring, alerting, and operational tuning. Provided architectural coaching to internal teams and external vendors.
Typische opdrachten & sterke punten
- extensive experience delivering and operating large-scale, distributed backend systems
- Expert in event-driven, distributed systems, and API-centric architectures, high-throughput microservices, and data-intensive systems.
- Strong hands-on background in DevOps engineering, CI/CD automation, and Infrastructure as Code, with proven ownership of system reliability, scalability, and operational excellence
- Recognised Principal-level individual contributor with a consistent record of mentoring engineers, influencing engineering standards, and driving technical strategy.
Voorkeur voor projecten
- The ideal project for my profile is a backend-heavy, cloud-native initiative where I can contribute at both architecture and implementation level. This includes greenfield platform development or modernization of existing systems, such as migrating monoliths to microservices, introducing event-driven architecture with Kafka, and establishing strong engineering standards. Projects that value scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability, and where a principal engineer can combine hands-on delivery with technical leadership, are the best fit.
