Patrick Kranz is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience and a decade-long focus on Java, currently an SDE III at Amazon building scalable, production-grade systems. He has led backend teams and architected high-availability platforms for air cargo and large consumer portals, bringing hands-on expertise in microservices, CQRS/Event Sourcing, Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Spring, and deployment automation with Ansible. Known for a pragmatic commitment to quality and usability, he champions clean code, CI/CD and sensible API design to avoid adding more "broken software" to the world. His background spans full-stack concerns—from SSO and OAuth2 to infrastructure orchestration—and includes guiding teams through architecture, testing practices and DevOps. Based in Trier, Germany, he combines systems-thinking with developer empathy and a curiosity for languages beyond Java, such as Ruby.
