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
