About Me
Greetings! I am a Principal DevOps Engineer and AWS Certified Cloud Professional with 9 years of software engineering experience , 4 years in DevOps and 7 years as a mobile lead.
I am a Principal DevOps Engineer and AWS Certified Cloud Professional with 9 years of software engineering experience , 4 dedicated years in DevOps engineering and 7 years as a mobile engineering lead specialising in iOS, Flutter, and React Native.
My path into DevOps was sparked entirely by CI/CD automation. While serving as Lead iOS Engineer, I took ownership of the mobile release pipeline , building automated workflows with Fastlane and Xcode Cloud. That hands-on experience ignited a deep passion for infrastructure, automation, and scalable delivery systems. What started as improving app deployment grew into architecting full cloud environments on AWS. From January 2022, I transitioned into DevOps engineering while continuing to lead the mobile team in parallel , and I have been doing both ever since.
Today, as Principal Software Engineer at ILI.DIGITAL GmbH, I wear two hats simultaneously. On the DevOps side, I design and manage cloud-native AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS) clusters with 2+ years of production experience, Terraform / Terragrunt IaC, GitOps with ArgoCD and FluxCD, and DevSecOps practices including SonarQube, Trivy, PCI DSS, and HIPAA compliance. On the mobile side, I lead the engineering team delivering enterprise iOS, Flutter, and React Native applications , 30+ apps shipped with 4.5+ App Store ratings for clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. That overlap is my edge: I architect the cloud infrastructure and ship the apps that run on it.
Download ResumeWhat I Do
Engineering at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and mobile development.
I design and deliver production-grade DevOps systems and enterprise mobile applications, leading both disciplines simultaneously with 9 years of hands-on engineering experience.
