If you have any questions, I would love to hear from you!

Clients & Work

  1. PaleoAncestry
    The scope of this project was to optimize and move an application to the cloud. The source code for the analysis pipeline was created for the use of university super-computer equipment. Another freelancer developed the frontend for the B2C offering. Any performance, UI/UX and scaling issues were not part of my tasks. I developed several different architecture patterns. Together with the customer we decided on the most suitable solution. Cost, scalability, and maintainability were the main factors to consider in this situation.

  2. Footstock
    At Footstock I moved from manual deployments to automated deployments on AWS. Footstock hosted all its source code on GitHub. We leveraged Github Actions as the continuous integration and delivery platform. At first, I created separate VPCs for production, testing, and development. Regulatory requirements made this separation necessary. I built infrastructure as code playbooks. They provided an easy way to create and tear down different setups fast. Technologies used were Fargate, RDS, KMS, IAM, and ALB.
