- IoT Solution Design and Automation: Architect cloud infrastructures using Pulumi, Ansible, and GitHub Actions.

- Azure Cloud Services Implementation: Deploy services like Azure Databricks, Data Factory, InfluxDB, and AI services.

- Rust-Based Microservices Development: Design and develop high-performance, scalable microservices for embedded systems.

- BMS/EMS Innovation: Contribute to energy innovation through independent development.

- Enhanced Data Processing: Improved efficiency through Azure cloud services implementation.

- Increased Code Coverage: Achieved 70% average code coverage and 99% consistent runtime through Rust microservices and TDD practices.

At RedoxOne, I lead the development of cutting-edge Battery Management System (BMS) and Energy Management System (EMS) based on Revolution Pi (RevPi) hardware for RedoxFlow battery technology. My role focuses on optimizing energy storage and distribution technologies, ensuring reliability, performance, and innovation. I also design and implement software solutions in Rust and manage Azure IoT cloud infrastructures.

- BMS and EMS Development: Spearhead design and development using RevPi hardware, integrating advanced control algorithms, data analytics, and cloud-based monitoring[1][3].

- Rust Software Development: Design, code, and debug applications, focusing on BMS using microservice architecture[4].

- Azure IoT Environment Implementation: Create scalable environments for field installations, ensuring adaptability to changing requirements[2][4].

- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with electrical and chemical engineers to deliver high-quality software solutions.

- Documentation: Create technical specifications and design documents using C4 standard and Icepanel.

- Innovative BMS Development: Led development of highly effective BMS and EMS solutions on RevPi hardware, significantly improving battery lifecycle management and energy distribution[1][3].

- Cloud IoT Infrastructure: Architected Azure IoT infrastructure and implemented tooling for end-to-end development cycle, enabling real-time monitoring for engineers in Germany and South Africa[2][4].

As a Senior Cloud Engineer at Lichtblick SE, a leading renewable energy provider, I play a key role in a 4-member platform team responsible for advancing Azure Cloud platforms and delivering highly available internal services to support innovative energy solutions.

-Leadership and Training:Conduct workshops to train development teams in cloud competencies and collaborate with Security and Architecture teams to ensure compliance with best practices.

-Cloud-Native Transition:Led the shift from Azure Functions to containerized microservices, improving scalability and resilience.

-Azure Cloud Deployments:Streamlined deployments using Pulumi Stacks, Azure DevOps Pipelines, and Helm for managing Azure Kubernetes clusters.

-Datadog Integration:Provided in-depth analyses for performance monitoring on AKS.

-SRE Practices:Implemented Site Reliability Engineering to enhance application stability and availability.

-Incident Management:Established an incident response process to minimize operational disruptions.

-Documentation:Maintained detailed documentation using Atlassian tools and Architectural Decision Records for transparency.

-Sustainable SLOs Implementation:Achieved 99% uptime for internal services through effective Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Indicators (SLIs).

-Support for Development Teams:Assisted five teams in transitioning from Azure Functions to containerized microservices, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
