Summary
Tilman Baumann is a Senior Software Engineer with 17 years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale Linux and cloud infrastructures across Europe. He has led and sustained a pan-European OpenStack deployment, transitioned legacy systems to modern, geo-redundant architectures, and reduced operational complexity while enabling teams to take ownership. Comfortable both as a DevOps engineer and as a software engineer, he redesigned database models, introduced pluggable storage backends (Galera and LMDB Lightning Stream), and added testing and local dev workflows for faster iteration. His background spans embedded Linux, cloud-native automation, Juju charms, and high-availability systems, with a particular knack for making open source technologies accessible to customers and teams. Based in Hesse, Germany, Tilman combines deep troubleshooting skills from enterprise support roles with a practical engineering focus on reliability, maintainability, and user experience. He often gravitates to bridging operations and development, turning complex distributed systems into manageable, well-documented platforms.
