Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Schmitz is a seasoned DevOps and Site Reliability engineer turned founder with over two decades in IT and nine years focused on cloud, SRE, and DevOps roles. He has led teams and delivered infrastructure-as-code, migrations, and cost-optimisations across Azure environments for both product companies and enterprise clients, repeatedly creating reusable ARM/Terraform templates and automation that reduced operational overhead. Sebastian combines hands-on scripting (PowerShell), CI/CD pipeline transformation, and monitoring expertise (New Relic) with client-facing strategic planning and training, and he’s driven measurable wins like a 10% cloud spend reduction and a 98% alert drop after Kafka upgrades. Now founding ventures in space tech and modular ant-keeping products while consulting, he pairs pragmatic engineering with entrepreneurial curiosity and a knack for turning repeatable operational work into scalable platforms. An experienced trainer and go-to technical resource, he’s as comfortable migrating complex on-prem systems to Azure as he is mentoring teams to own their reliability.
