Senior Advisor
André Engelhorn
„Most cloud projects don't fail because of the technology stack. They fail because identity, security and governance are treated as follow-up work — instead of as prerequisites. Those who make these decisions at the start save themselves threefold at the end.“
Builds cloud and automation architectures — from infrastructure decisions to production platforms — with depth in digital identities and IaC.
André Engelhorn builds cloud infrastructures with IaC, Terraform and DevOps tooling — as the foundation for systems that operate under load and meet regulatory requirements. He has led migration and automation programs with real line responsibility: at iSAX as Head of Cloud, at T-Systems as Head of Innovation. For years he has been working on digital identities and self-sovereign identity — a topic gaining strategic importance from financial services to government cloud projects. At makematiq he combines infrastructure depth with architecture accountability — and asks the questions that cloud projects like to skip.
