Hey! I'm Sören, a Cloud Platform Engineer with 15 years of experience. These days I mostly design cloud platforms for teams with strict rules: an air-gapped government cloud, sovereign cloud setups, and a Google Cloud platform for a life-sciences product that pharma customers run in their own accounts.

My work sits between platform architecture, Kubernetes, Terraform, and observability. The part I enjoy most is turning a pile of constraints into a clear design, with the decisions written down so nobody has to guess later.
