Summary
Staff‑level technical product/program leader driving platform innovation and measurable business impact. I build scalable, secure, cost‑efficient data and developer platforms that enable AI, accelerate delivery, and improve governance. Known for aligning technology with strategy, simplifying complex environments, and fostering open, governed data and API sharing across teams.
Experience
- Ran Platform‑as‑Product for internal developers and revenue analysts; owned outcomes across data, DevX, security, cost, and M&A integration.
- Leading agent‑readiness strategy and platform enablement: identifying high‑value AI‑assisted/autonomous use cases, building structured context provisioning for specialized SDLC agents (spec, research, planning, implementation), and shipping early capabilities — GitHub‑integrated agents and a Kubernetes‑based custom harness — toward secure, scalable adoption.
- Built a ClickHouse‑centric lakehouse (decoupled storage/compute) and integrated MCP to standardize AI/agent access to governed datasets; aligned cataloging to FAIR principles, enabling open data sharing (+30% WAU) and saving $120k/year in infrastructure costs.
- Led ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II security program (2025 renewal; 2026 plan defined) and a FinOps program delivering $1.8M annualized savings (AWS RIs, Kubernetes VPA).
- Unified post‑acquisition infrastructure (Heap, Hotjar) with zero‑downtime migrations and improved DevX via Kubernetes autoscaling, CI/CD optimizations, and OpenTelemetry standardization (– $50k/year telemetry costs).
- Senior PM driving foundational platform, data, and DevX initiatives that paved the way for Staff‑level scope.
- Managed a 5M€ program portfolio; Solution Architect for the Data Platform migration to Microsoft Azure, defining the vision and high‑level architecture for an Azure‑based data platform ecosystem enabling customers/partners to build streaming/analytics services, discoverable via a future API/marketplace layer.
- Led the Microsoft–Amadeus co‑innovation program and acted as solution enabler for Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) and Salesforce: designed data models and sandbox‑based demos, then handed industrialization to development teams; also defined partner integration patterns and contributed to API governance reviews (REST/OpenAPI, security guidelines).
- Owned 5.5M€ delivery budget; led 7 teams (59 people across 4 divisions) in a SAFe setup; drove continuous improvement and transition to the new framework.
- Turned around the baggage program (major ancillary revenue stream): delivered within one year across 7 expert teams/7 divisions; secured market adoption via professional services; budget doubled year‑over‑year following results.
- Software Team Manager — Yield Management & AI (Aug 2013 – Sep 2018): microservices/DevOps transformation; dynamic pricing algo bench.
- Software Engineer, Yield Management (Feb 2010 – Jul 2013); Functional Analyst, Car Rental Distribution (Sep 2006 – Jan 2010).
- KIT Master Thesis — Optical data transmission for swarm micro‑robots (Sep 2005 – Aug 2006): Kalman filter optimization; ATMEL/Eagle/OpenGL/C.
