Cloud architect · Karlsruhe

HI, I'M
MIKAEL.

I make complex cloud platforms feel boring. The good kind of boring: clear, automated, secure, and pleasant to build on.

01 / About

From helpdesk apprentice to cloud architect.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve led cloud initiatives across e-commerce, chemical, public, financial, and enterprise environments—always reducing toil through automation and clear standards.

I enjoy both conceptual and hands-on work. I translate business needs into technical systems, help teams make good decisions, and still happily open the editor when something needs building.
