Nikolaus Schuetz

Principal Platform Engineer — I build the data and infrastructure platforms other engineers run on.

Deep in Terraform, Kubernetes/GitOps, large-scale data systems (Spark, Flink, Snowflake, Databricks), and the CI/CD beneath them. I practice AI-augmented, issue-driven engineering — and contribute the results back upstream.

Things I've authored

Open source

Fixes and tests merged into projects I rely on — always verified fails-before / passes-after, always with a regression test: pypa/wheel, Apache Flink, Casbin, and 30+ more across the CNCF, Python, Go, and Rust ecosystems. Tests for git merge-base --is-ancestor are queued for git core.
