Summary
Lucas Thiesen is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with seven years of experience building resilient, cloud-native platforms and developer tooling. He has deep hands-on expertise in distributed systems, Kubernetes, service meshes, API gateways and Go-based infrastructure, having driven edge routing, autoscaling metrics and reverse-proxy work at Zalando and platform reliability improvements across multiple companies. Lucas pairs SRE discipline with platform engineering—reducing bot traffic dramatically, improving incident practices, and creating reusable Terraform and observability tooling to cut toil. He has implemented authz/authn solutions with OPA and Kong, built egress and SSO systems, and mentored new platform engineers, showing a consistent focus on scalable, secure operational design. Curious about big data and machine learning, he blends practical data-ops and ETL experience with production-grade backend engineering to bridge teams from experimentation to reliable services.
