Über mich

Hello, I’m A. L., a seasoned Solution Architect and Technologist with over 20 years in software development. For the past 7 years, I have thrived as a freelance Technical Lead and Solution Architect, contributing to diverse projects across automotive, AI, manufacturing, and Fintech sectors.

I specialize in software architecture, MVP acceleration, cloud migration, and developing robust software solutions. My expertise also extends to designing and implementing comprehensive monitoring solutions, ensuring seamless integration and performance.

Passionate about streamlining DevOps and cloud-native infrastructure, I founded -Hyperlink entfernt-, a pet project aimed at simplifying Kubernetes setup for greenfield projects. By leveraging Terraform kits, GetInfra accelerates the deployment of essential components like service meshes, cert-manager, and ArgoCD, empowering teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure complexity.

Based in Aachen, Germany, I am a dedicated husband and proud father of two. I am passionate about technology, always eager to tackle new challenges, enhance development processes, and deliver sustainable business software solutions. My goal is to empower companies to accelerate their MVPs, eliminate obstacles, and identify the best solutions tailored to their needs
