Summary
Thomas F is a Siemens-certified Software Architect and tech lead with nine years of focused experience designing scalable test and product architectures for industrial automation and cloud platforms. Based in Fürth, Germany, he currently shapes the TIA Portal product portfolio while driving MindSphere test automation, DevOps adoption, and .NET Core modernization across teams. His work blends deep hands-on engineering—WPF, MVVM, Roslyn, ASP.NET Core/Blazor—with infrastructure-level solutions like CI/CD, Docker, GitLab pipelines, and a scalable local cloud test environment. He has a track record of introducing reusable build and deployment workflows, creating UI and openness test APIs, and mentoring distributed teams to adopt agile and DevOps practices. Notably, he architected a test framework now used by hundreds of colleagues and established requirement engineering and reporting/monitoring solutions that bridged device-level testing with cloud services. Trained as a Dipl.-Ing. in Communication Engineering, he pairs formal engineering rigor with practical automation and tooling experience.
