Experience

25 years. From a manufacturing floor in Krak贸w to central banks in Basel.

2023-2024

Bank for International Settlements, Basel

SRE / Cloud Automation Lead

Greenfield CI/CD architecture for FIS Front Arena trading platform. Nothing existed. I designed and built a PowerShell framework that automated the whole lifecycle: config, install, updates, secrets. Standard tools didn't work on their Windows stack, so I made my own. Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Python.

2022-2023

Google Switzerland, Z眉rich

Software Engineer / Cloud TAM

Migrated internal services from a deprecated platform. Each project was different. I had to understand the team's situation, read their code (Go, Java, Python, C++), redesign the migration, and hand it back so they could run it. The goal: make their life easier, not harder.

2022

Sygnum Bank, Z眉rich

Tech Lead / Deputy Head of SRE

Built the SRE team for Switzerland's first FINMA-regulated crypto bank. Multi-cloud: AWS, Azure, OpenShift. Managed external certified partners. Six months. Short, but I left a team and a platform that worked.

2020-2021

Roche, Basel

AWS Cloud Consultant / Team Lead

Led a team of six. We built an ML platform on Kubernetes and Kubeflow for medical research. The qualification process was slow, we made it 20x faster. AWS CDK in Python. Patient data compliance. Release management for med-tech.

2018-2020

Hilti, Liechtenstein

Senior DevOps Lead

Built the DevOps team from scratch. Switzerland and India. First automated production releases for a complex cloud-native platform. CI/CD, Terraform, Kubernetes. External security audits. SAFe and Scrum.

2017-2018

Scigility, Z眉rich

Senior Big Data DevOps
