Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilipp Etschel is a solution architect and senior Java engineer with over 15 years of experience designing and running complex microservice architectures across cloud platforms. He combines hands-on Java and Spring expertise with practical DevOps skills—having led migrations from legacy build systems to Gradle, containerized deployments on Kubernetes/OpenShift, and multi-account AWS setups with Pulumi. At companies from Bosch to CKW he’s modernized CI/CD, introduced autoscaling GitLab runners, and built SSI solutions on Hyperledger, showing a knack for connecting enterprise constraints with pragmatic engineering. He prefers simplicity, continuous observability and prioritizing customer happiness over feature bloat, and often surfaces performance and versioning improvements during architecture reviews. Philipp’s background includes consumer electronics and IoT projects as well as building installer-to-container migration paths, so he’s comfortable translating desktop-centric products into cloud-native services. Based in Zurich, he brings a steady blend of architecture, platform engineering, and developer coaching to delivery-focused teams.
