Kilian S. - Fullstack Developer, GitLab, OpenShift

Being part of Softaims has allowed me to see the full spectrum of what technology can achieve when guided by empathy, discipline, and creativity. Each assignment, regardless of size, represents an opportunity to bring clarity to complexity and to turn ambitious ideas into tangible outcomes. I’ve come to realize that successful development isn’t just about writing code—it’s about listening carefully, understanding deeply, and designing thoughtfully. Every client brings unique challenges, and I make it a priority to align my work with their goals, ensuring that the end result is both effective and lasting. Softaims fosters an environment where collaboration is not optional—it’s essential. The collective expertise within the team pushes me to think beyond conventional boundaries, to question, refine, and innovate. I believe that this process of shared learning and experimentation is what makes our solutions resilient and impactful. My ultimate goal is to build technology that feels effortless to use yet powerful in function. I approach every task with the mindset that small details can make a big difference. Through continuous refinement and dedication, I aim to contribute to the kind of work that not only serves today’s needs but anticipates tomorrow’s possibilities.

Experience Highlights

Tech Lead for a big car manufacturer

I’ve supported an Agile Release Train as Tech Lead helping the team shape architecture, ease and standardize deployment workflows and make sure security concepts are implemented.

Led the DevOps Team of a financial organisation

For their customers FITS provides self-hosted Cloud Native products including Kubernetes and as a service on bare metal using metal-stack as well as Postgres & Kafka aaS running on Kubernetes. I’ve helped to shape technology and mindset and built the bridge between a major customer in the banking business and my team.

Helped a Startup build a resilient platform and migrate from Heroku

The startup wanted to migrate off heroku and to a new AWS cloud infrastructure. I’ve created AWS environments from scratch using terraform and automated app/service deployments with CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and Helm. Later on we’ve implemented GitOps (w/ ArgoCD). Also I’ve built a platform team of 5 DevOps Engineers to support the product teams and take care of the infrastructure.

Helped a Big5 consulting firm automate compliance

As a big consultancy that is processing highly sensitive data for clients the customer needed to make sure developed software is secure and compliant. I’ve implemented advanced pipelines checking docker base images, licenses, documentation, hardening and doing automated penetration tests. This was a major break-through as usually compliance checks took months and after automation just minutes.
