Top SchoolSteffen L is a Lead Architect specializing in public sector and security-focused cloud-native solutions, with a decade of experience designing and operating container platforms and secure development infrastructures. Currently at Red Hat, he advances compliance-driven architectures (notably around BSI IT-Grundschutz) and creates open-source resources to help government and defense customers stay secure and auditable. His background includes hands-on systems engineering and platform architecture at BWI and the Bundeswehr Cyber Innovation Hub, where he built experimental secure environments for rapid prototyping.
