Cloud Solutions Architect

ABOUT

I am a Solutions Architect working in Zurich. I am a big advocate for Cloud computing and help others to start their own cloud journey. That being said, I am passionate about engineering technology in general.
Id est, an engineer at heart.

When I am not coding I like to spend my time in the outdoors preferably on two wheels. Cycling is my other great passion which I indulge in by either working on my bikes or riding them.
