Felix Ortmann

I am a Cloud Architect and DevOps Engineer with nearly 15 years of experience building and operating distributed systems. I started my career as a backend developer before spending five years in the security industry, where I worked as a threat hunter and security analyst. This background gives me a strong security-first perspective when designing and operating cloud platforms.

For the past five years, I have been working as an independent contractor, collaborating with startups and SMEs worldwide. I help teams design, build, and operate cloud-native platforms with a strong focus on automation, reliability, and DevSecOps best practices.

I bridge the gap between high-level architecture and hands-on engineering: I don’t just design systems, I build and operate them. My work typically involves establishing scalable cloud architectures, implementing infrastructure and delivery pipelines, and enabling engineering teams to run resilient systems efficiently.
