Dirk Budke is a Head of Engineering based in Zurich with 10 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, event-driven platforms and automations. He specializes in Kafka data streaming, Apache Flink, Confluent, and process automation using Camunda, Flowable and UiPath, combining BPMN-driven process design with RPA to streamline digital business transformation. Comfortable at the intersection of Java/Spring Boot and container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker), he focuses on resilient integration and scalable streaming architectures. Dirk pairs academic rigor from ETH Zurich and Technical University of Braunschweig with practical startup leadership at mesoneer, often translating complex process models into production-grade, observable systems. Notably, he blends cognitive/AI solutions into automation workflows, making process optimization both smarter and more auditable.
