About Dr. Boris

I design and modernise cloud platforms for organisations that can't afford to get it wrong - banks, transport operators, airlines, and manufacturers.

17+ years across hyperscale systems at Microsoft, Amazon (AWS) and tier-1 banking. I've led the cloud migration of 1000+ microservices for tier-1 banks and enterprises, transformed legacy monoliths into cloud-native microservices at Deutsche Bahn, and delivered an enterprise AI platform adopted organisation-wide at Emirates Group.

What I deliver:
- Multi-cloud architecture (AWS · Azure · GCP): landing zones, Well-Architected reviews, high availability & disaster recovery
- Cloud migration & legacy modernisation: monolith decomposition into event-driven microservices, zero-drama cutovers
- GenAI, LLM & agentic AI solutions: production-grade, not prototypes: RAG, ML platform architecture, AI Foundry
- Sovereign cloud & regulated delivery: banking-grade security, compliance-aware architecture, EU data sovereignty
- FinOps & cloud cost optimisation: certified 2026; these engagements typically pay for themselves

The "Quantum" in my title is earned, not decorative: PhD in physics (CERN/FAIR), top-rated speaker on emerging compute including Azure Quantum at Microsoft AI Tour Munich. If your roadmap touches post-quantum readiness or emerging compute, I speak both languages, physics and production.

I work from the codebase to the C-suite: hands-on Terraform and Kubernetes one day, board-level architecture decisions the next.

Fluent English & German. Dublin-based EU citizen, remote-first across all EU time zones, on-site by arrangement.
