I build data systems that businesses can actually rely on. 10+ years in Data Engineering — from legacy ETL to modern cloud-native platforms and AI-powered autonomous systems.

About Me

I've lived through the full evolution of data engineering — from building Informatica PowerCenter mappings to designing modern, cloud-native data platforms on GCP and AWS. I've seen what works at scale and what quietly breaks at 3 AM.

Today, I work at the intersection of data engineering and Agentic AI — building systems where data pipelines don't just move data, but enable intelligent, autonomous decision-making. I design scalable architectures (streaming & batch), migrate legacy systems to modern stacks, and build data platforms that teams can actually trust.

I also write and create content about the real challenges in data engineering — architecture trade-offs, career pivots, and the honest side of working with data at scale and life in Germany as an expat.
