• Oversee SIAM coordination, shared responsibility models, and SLAs/OLAs with key vendor and internal partners (Azure, Upbound, GitHub, Artifactory, SonarQube, Snyk) for the Developer Platform.
• Implemented QM-aligned compliance initiatives, including a formal Software Release Process and validation of the standard toolchain to meet regulatory requirements.

Led the design and build of a cloud-native platform for modern applications and services in a regulated medical context. Resilience, scale, and security had to be designed in, not added later.

• Product Owner for the B. Braun Health Cloud (BBHC), leading the product roadmap, vendor contracts, and stakeholder alignment to onboard ~15 products.
• System Validation: Designed and built the cloud-native platform for modern applications, validated under GAMP 5 guidelines and Computerized System Validation (CSV) principles for regulated environments.
• Led multi-regional SIAM coordination, vendor contracts, Statements of Work (SoW), and SLAs/OLAs with strategic partners to maintain service quality at scale.
• Pushed cloud adoption across the organization and led the organizational change towards agile, modern development practices.

• Worked closely with strategic partners on multi-regional deployments and service quality.
• Championed cloud services adoption and modern development mindsets within the company.
• Spoke at codecentric (2019) on moving from monitoring to observability (Instana) for digital products.

Held concurrently with the B. Braun Health Cloud Technical Architecture Lead role above, dual-hatted across both platform efforts.

• Led the technical architecture to connect medical devices from regulated environments to the B. Braun Health Cloud.
• Played a key role in selecting strategic partners for various IoMT initiatives.
• Spoke at WeConnect (2018) on building a platform for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).

• Designed and built a scalable Linux environment and deployment infrastructure from scratch.
• Defined a Standard Operating Environment (SOE), OS lifecycle, and automated operational processes.
• Implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Ansible.
• Migrated critical systems and applications (Webservices, SAP, Oracle) from AIX and Windows to Linux.

• Provided consultancy to the automotive industry on Linux deployment and configuration.
• Specialized in high-performance compute (HPC) clusters and large-scale Linux workstation environments (2000+).

• Took time away from work before returning to IT consulting.
