Summary
Peter Kern is a cloud platform engineer with 13 years of professional experience and two decades in IT, currently designing and operating cloud-like PaaS and Kubernetes platforms for internal DevOps teams at DATEV in Nuremberg. He blends a hands-on engineering background—from Java, C#, and JavaScript to Go—with architecture-level thinking developed as an integration architect and enterprise technical architect. Peter has led API design and governance, helped migrate classic JEE apps to cloud-native patterns, and drives continuous improvement and rapid prototyping across the platform stack. He is comfortable with both platform tooling (Cloud Foundry/Tanzu, TKGi, BOSH, Concourse, Terraform, Helm) and observability/automation ecosystems (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Ansible). Colleagues rely on him as a coach for architecture and DDD topics and for turning documentation and governance into practical team enablement. His career shows a rare combination of deep legacy-system knowledge and a clear focus on evolving teams toward modern cloud-native practices.
