Summary

Cloud and Confidential Computing Consultant | IT Officer | Security Architect

I help companies secure their cloud infrastructures and enable data protection during use with Confidential Computing. My focus areas: Trusted Execution Environments (AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro Enclaves, OP-TEE), Remote Attestation, and Vault integration – for a new level of security in mission-critical workloads.

With my dual background as an IT officer in the German Armed Forces and a cloud security consultant, I combine discipline, technical expertise, and compliance knowledge (ISO 27001, BSI C5, NATO D3.2) to achieve measurable results.

Core competencies: cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, OpenStack), Kubernetes and container security, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Kubectl, Helm), IT governance and compliance consulting.

Available part-time (8–16 hours/week) for consulting, architecture design, security reviews, and proofs of concept in civilian sectors such as healthcare, finance, and Industry 4.0.
