Summary
Alexander Weidemann is a DevOps and Platform Engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud-agnostic Kubernetes platforms and GitOps-driven delivery pipelines. As co-owner of Rocket Pad Platforms and formerly at Capgemini, he has designed Terraform and Crossplane IaC for multi-provider clusters, implemented GitLab CI/CD for multi-arch builds, and deployed observability and DevSecOps stacks using Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, Trivy and Cosign. He values clean, well-documented commits and automates repeatable processes until they feel "satisfying," often iterating from personal homelab experiments—running K3s and Ansible-managed apps—back into production designs. Comfortable across Jsonnet, Helm, Argo CD and Istio, he mentors teams on CI/CD strategy and has practical experience delivering internal developer platforms at scale. Based in Ratingen, Germany, he blends hands-on engineering with a pragmatic, open-source-first mindset that surfaces improvements as reproducible, auditable infrastructure.
