Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWerner Buck is a Lead Principal System Engineer with 12 years’ experience building and scaling cloud-native platforms, currently leading Backbase’s SharedDLC team and the company-wide SDLC tooling. He designs and operates Helm chart-of-charts deployments, ArgoCD delivery patterns, and global release pipelines powered by GitHub Actions, while steering GitHub Enterprise governance and Copilot rollout across the organization. Previously he consulted across high-profile clients like Yolt, KLM, WeTransfer and NN Group, combining hands-on engineering with coaching to embed durable DevOps practices and platform-first architectures. Trained as a software engineer in distributed systems (MSc, University of Groningen), he’s as comfortable coding Terraform and Kubernetes primitives as he is aligning cross-company working groups to replace fragmented tooling. An interesting detail: he led initiatives that shifted teams from ad-hoc scripts to a single reusable Helm library and a standardized global release mechanism, materially accelerating multi-tenant onboarding for banking customers.
