I'm Dr. Matthias Lohr, a freelance Platform Engineering Lead & Architect with 15+ years of hands-on experience. I help organizations design and operate scalable, cloud-native platforms — from architecture and Internal Developer Platforms to automated CI/CD pipelines and sovereign, on-premise infrastructure. Security runs through everything I build, grounded in a PhD in Computer Science on security in distributed systems.
Beyond building, I share what I know — through workshops, mentoring and talks.
