I started my IT careen in 2000 as the owner of my small business for training solutions in Germany. I provide Linux courses Development trainings in C and Java as well a lot of Infrastructure and collaboration topic like Lotus or Exchange. Later I was joining a hardware manufacture company Fujitsu and become responsible for Fujitsu OpenStack initiative. After servaral years and project me and my team could develop this initiative into a real product. With this entry into Cloud and Linux I followed the open-source path to the cloud world and got part of the OpenStack and OpenInfra family. 

Since 2019 I'm with T-Systems in the role Chief Architect of Open Telekom Cloud (OTC)! 

As the architecture lead, I am responsible for everything between the upper edge of operating system to the outer edge of Service Delivery.

   2017, I joined China Telecom and have been working on Cloud & Network infrastructure products since then. In the past years, I used to led a team to design and develop VIM products based on OpenStack and ETSI MANO specifications; and participated in design China Telecom's NFV three-layer decoupling scheme and implemented multiple projects such as 5GC, vIMS, and vBRAS. Our CT Cloud based on OpenStack have been deployed in 31 provinces and maintain upgrading with new Cloud & Network technologies. I believe it is precisely the mutual promotion with the open source community that has helped the industry to grow rapidly.
