Matthew Choppen
Senior Consultant DevOps Engineer at 50Hertz Transmission GmbH
Norderstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Summary
🤩
RockstarMatthew Choppen is a Senior DevOps Engineer and consultant with decades-long hands-on experience applying automation, IaC and GitOps across large enterprises and public-sector projects. He has led complex migrations and highly available OpenShift/OpenStack deployments using Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD and operator-based platforms, and recently advised clients including Red Hat, 50Hertz and Berenberg. Known for rapid adaptability and punctual delivery, he blends solo contributor drive with team mentoring and service-design thinking to make infrastructure reproducible and auditable. His work spans cloud-to-edge scenarios (OTC, AWS, OpenStack) and bespoke orchestration like GitLab geo-deployment and Ansible module development. Less obvious: he pairs deep legacy systems experience from the 1990s with modern GitOps patterns, enabling pragmatic migrations rather than one-size-fits-all rewrites. Based in Norderstedt, Germany, he consistently turns complex requirements into automated, production-ready platforms.
