The goal was to define an application lifecycle strategy on an enterprise level and to decide on a future enterprise architecture tool to implement the ALC. For this, I worked in close collaboration with the Managing Director of Engineering and the Head of Enterprise Architects and took care of the alignment and coordination between the different departments to define a common strategy for the company.

The main challenge was to develop a new e-commerce platform to allow an exponential growth and to supersede the current platform as quickly as possible due to a fast increase of the number of customers. In my role as a solution architect I developed an architecture for a new e-commerce platform based on the MACH principles. Furthermore, my responsibility was to define a roll-out/​migration strategy with my team to allow a flawless switch to the new platform.

The aim here was to build a digital twin platform for new digital vehicles. The digital twin platform was necessary to connect the vehicles and to model the whole lifecycle of the vehicle (from production to end-of-life). In my role as the team lead and lead solution architect I was responsible to design and implement a digital twin platform based on Azure, Kubernetes, Java and Typescript. To build this platform in an efficient way and make sure requirements are met I worked closely with the management and product managers to set up a cutting-edge platform.

Within a multi team setup the goal was to develop an IoT platform which may be used by my client's customers for their own products. I was a lead solution architect for this platform based on Kubernetes, Kafka and Golang as the main building blocks. My focus topic was to develop a data service with my team that allowed the storage and analysis of huge timeseries data.

I took part in creating a company wide SSO system which is used for all digital products as part of the digital replatforming strategy.
