Head of AI Platforms and Cloud Architect. I build large-scale AI infrastructure, design agentic systems, and operate cloud platforms that span thousands of services across multiple countries.

What I Do
#

I lead the AI Platforms practice at a major European insurance group, owning the full lifecycle from strategy and architecture through to production operations.

On any given day that means: evolving an LLM Gateway that routes requests to AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and Google Vertex for 15+ legal entities; designing agent frameworks that automate claims processing, document intelligence, and platform operations; and governing a cloud platform running 2,400+ serverless functions, 370+ containerized microservices, and 850+ data stores.

I write primarily in Go and Python, use Terraform everywhere, and run everything on AWS.

Coaching
#

I coach software engineers who want to build real skills around AI integration, cloud architecture, and platform engineering — not surface-level familiarity, but the kind of depth that lets you design and operate production systems confidently.

Sessions are 60 minutes, one-on-one, focused on whatever is most useful to you: reviewing an architecture, working through a specific problem, learning a pattern, or thinking through a technical decision.

50 EUR per session.

“Git Push and Run” is where I write about the patterns and tools I find useful in the field. Go, Python, AWS, AI systems, DevOps. No fluff, just code and architecture.
