Summary
Florian Feldhaus is a Customer Engineer at Google Cloud with 13 years of experience architecting high-performance, cloud-native storage and data pipelines for automotive, media and life-science customers. He combines hands-on systems engineering—HPC, Linux administration, Puppet configuration management and scripting in Ruby/Python—with project leadership, proposal writing and funding acquisition. At NetApp he designed exascale data lakes and Kubernetes-based storage solutions capable of multi-PB/day ingestion and extreme throughput, and he has driven large migrations from file to geo-distributed object storage. Florian is an active DevOps contributor, notably improving the KVM provider for the popular veewee project by refactoring libvirt usage into fog.io and adding Windows support features. He is comfortable translating research-grade cloud standards into production solutions, a skill honed during early research roles at TU Dortmund, GWDG and CERN. Based in Soest, Germany, he blends rigorous academic training in physics with pragmatic engineering to optimize large-scale data infrastructures.
