Senior🎓
Top SchoolFritz Duchardt is a Senior DevOps/DevSecOps engineer with 15+ years of software experience and seven years focused on cloud-native platform engineering, currently architecting GitOps-driven OpenShift platforms for German federal agencies. He designs production-grade GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD, GitLab CI, Helm and Renovate, and builds zero-trust platforms using Vault, Istio, and automated container security (Trivy) to meet stringent government compliance and SLOs. Skilled across the full stack of Kubernetes operations—from greenfield cluster provisioning and multi-tenant isolation to service mesh and policy enforcement—he pairs that with observability expertise using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and OpenTelemetry. Fritz also develops automation and bespoke tooling in Go, Python and Bash, including custom Kubernetes operators, and champions AI-assisted workflows to boost engineering velocity. Based in Berlin, he combines a rare mix of hands-on platform delivery for high-traffic public sites and a background in media arts that informs pragmatic, user-aware infrastructure design.
