👋 Hi! I'm Chris, a certified Solutions Architect and Cloud Engineer based in Zurich. I design and implement scalable, resilient cloud infrastructures that help organizations accelerate their digital transformation and optimize their technology investments.
Cloud Solutions
Enterprise-grade cloud architecture 🚀
Cloud Architecture
Designing sophisticated multi-region cloud architectures with high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery built-in. I create enterprise-grade solutions leveraging AWS, Azure, and GCP best practices to ensure maximum uptime, data integrity, and security while optimizing for cost efficiency and performance.
Infrastructure Design
Building modern infrastructure patterns using network segmentation, zero-trust security models, and service mesh architectures. I implement landing zones with proper account segregation, private connectivity solutions, and advanced IAM frameworks that provide secure, compliant environments ready for enterprise workloads.
Cloud-Native Solutions
Implementing containerized microservices architectures, serverless solutions, and event-driven systems that scale automatically with demand. I design data pipeline architectures, real-time analytics solutions, and resilient backend systems using cloud-native technologies that maximize developer productivity and operational efficiency.
Cloud Engineering
Implementing advanced automation practices that transform cloud operations and enable organizations to manage sophisticated infrastructure at scale with confidence and precision.
Infrastructure as Code
Implementing enterprise-grade infrastructure as code practices using Terraform, terragrunt and ansible, helm across multi-cloud environments. I design modular, composable infrastructure patterns with testing frameworks, drift detection, and automated compliance validation to ensure infrastructure integrity and consistency at scale.
GitOps & CI/CD
Architecting sophisticated GitOps workflows and deployment pipelines that accelerate delivery while maintaining stability and security. I implement advanced deployment strategies including blue/green, canary, and feature flag patterns with automated rollback mechanisms to enable zero-downtime releases and continuous validation of cloud environments.
Enterprise Architecture
Scalable, Resilient Cloud Infrastructure
Architecting cloud solutions that bring agility, reliability, and security to enterprise environments
Reference Architectures
Designing comprehensive cloud reference architectures following AWS Well-Architected Framework principles. I create tailored blueprints covering network topology, security controls, service selection, high availability patterns, and disaster recovery strategies that align with your specific business requirements and compliance needs.
Cloud Migration
Implementing end-to-end migration strategies from on-premises to cloud or between cloud providers. My approach includes workload assessment, dependency mapping, migration wave planning, and cutover strategies with minimal downtime. I excel in containerization of monolithic applications, cloud-native transformations, and implementing hybrid connectivity solutions.
Security & Compliance
Building defense-in-depth security architectures implementing zero-trust principles, IAM best practices, and encryption throughout the application stack. I implement robust security controls aligned with industry regulations and standards through automated policy enforcement and continuous compliance monitoring systems.
Platform Engineering
Creating developer-centric internal cloud platforms with self-service capabilities to accelerate application delivery. I implement golden paths for infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and security using service mesh architectures, custom operators, and policy-as-code for consistent governance.
