As founder of the DataFlow Academy and author of Kafka in Action, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience. I combine deep technical expertise with the ability to explain complex concepts with clarity.

Apache Kafka Ecosystem From fundamentals to advanced patterns – I know every corner of the Kafka world and teach you how to master it.

Event-Driven Architecture Understanding and successfully implementing modern system architectures – this has been my daily practice for years. I’m glad to support you with that.

Stream Processing Processing real-time data streams and developing scalable, robust solutions.

Cloud-native Solutions Kafka in the cloud – from migration to native implementation in modern cloud environments.

As an experienced computer scientist and trainer, I of course bring the certifications—but more importantly, I have the passion that comes from a lifetime spent with my fingers on the keyboard and my head in the clouds.

Besides my passion for technology, I am also a keen adventurer. This mixture of technical expertise and a spirit of discovery helps me develop new perspectives and find innovative solutions.

As an orienteer, I know that the right path is not always the obvious one – but with the right map and enough courage, you always reach your goal.
