Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Bornkessel is a Senior Consultant based in Berlin with 15 years of experience designing and migrating large-scale systems to the cloud and implementing test-driven, production-ready software. He has deep backend and DevOps expertise from roles at SoundCloud—where he helped scale infrastructure, built continuous delivery for microservices, and prototyped an internal PaaS—and long-term consulting at innoQ. His background spans high-performance Ruby/Rails systems, distributed REST architectures, containerization (LXC/Docker), CI/CD, and infrastructure automation, with a knack for refactoring legacy apps to improve stability and scalability. Daniel combines hands-on engineering with architecture and tooling work, having led SUSE Studio’s founding engineering efforts and driven API and data-store designs at earlier companies. He’s comfortable translating complex operational problems into pragmatic, test-first solutions and frequently bridges the gap between product teams and platform needs. An occasional conference presenter, he brings both deep systems knowledge and practical delivery experience to cloud migration and platform modernization projects.
