What I offer
The areas where I help companies — focused, hands-on, and free of buzzword bingo.
Data Engineering
Robust data pipelines, lakehouse architectures and ETL workflows for modern data platforms.
I build data pipelines that run reliably and scale with your business. From the first source connection to a production lakehouse, I see the whole journey through — including monitoring, tests and documentation.
Focus areas:
- Lakehouse implementation with Databricks
- ETL/ELT with dbt, dlt and SQLMesh
- Streaming ingestion and change-data-capture
- Data quality, lineage and observability
Cloud Infrastructure
Pragmatic cloud architectures on Azure, Cloudflare and Hetzner — with infrastructure as code and zero-trust security.
Cloud setups that stay maintainable instead of getting tangled over time. I pick the stack that fits the problem — not the other way around — and automate everything that can be automated.
Focus areas:
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform and OpenTofu
- Cloudflare Zero Trust and Tunnel
- Container orchestration and CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Cost engineering and monitoring
Training & Workshops
Databricks and data engineering training for teams — from the basics through to certification.
I have been teaching at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences since 2020, where I direct two CAS programmes, and I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer as well as a Databricks Solutions Architect Champion. I bring the same material to your team as in-house training — tailored to your stack rather than to a standard curriculum.
Focus areas:
- Databricks from the basics through to lakehouse architecture
- Data engineering in practice: pipelines, Delta Lake, change data capture
- Preparation for Microsoft and Databricks certifications
- In-house workshops covering cloud, data and DevOps
Consulting & Coaching
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence and hands-on coaching for engineering teams.
When a team gets stuck or an important decision is on the table, I help with experience from dozens of projects. I don’t show slides — I work alongside you, at the whiteboard, in the code, in the pull request.
Focus areas:
- Architecture and code reviews
- Technology selection and migration strategy
- Mentoring for engineering teams
