Top SchoolCarsten Lenz is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of focused experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, currently designing the Kubernetes platform for the Catena-X consortium at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation. He combines deep hands-on skills across Windows and Linux environments with a strong emphasis on automation, standardization and Infrastructure as Code to deliver reliable, repeatable platforms. His background includes architecting on-premise OpenStack solutions and enterprise analytics platforms (IBM TM1/Planning Analytics), giving him uncommon fluency across legacy and modern stacks.

Colleagues rely on him for stable production systems and clear migration paths from traditional servers to Kubernetes-driven platforms.
