Philipp Galliker

Software Engineer - Cloud-Native

Hi, I'm Philipp – a Software Engineer with 18 years of experience in IT, focused on building software end-to-end across application development, architecture, cloud, and delivery.

My deepest expertise is in full-stack software engineering: C#/.NET on the backend and React/TypeScript on the frontend. I care about software architecture and design, from domain-driven design and clean architecture to APIs, distributed systems, and integration. I bring that application and architectural perspective into the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, designing and building cloud-native systems that are scalable, resilient, and maintainable.

What I enjoy most is connecting the different parts of a system. A good solution is not just well-written code: it also needs a thoughtful user experience, a sound architecture, reliable infrastructure, automated delivery, and enough observability to understand how it behaves in production.

I'm expanding my depth and breadth in cloud-native engineering – exploring containers and Kubernetes, platform engineering and developer experience, CI/CD and GitOps, observability and SRE, security, AI-assisted engineering, data, networking, and green software. I approach these areas through hands-on experiments and real-world implementations rather than treating them as isolated technologies.

This blog is where I document what I build and learn: real implementations, architecture decisions, experiments, technical deep dives, and lessons learned along the way.

Outside of software and cloud, you'll find me spending time with my family, practicing Kung Fu, or behind a camera – the best ways to stay grounded, focused, and creative.

Always learning. Always connecting. Always building. Always in the cloud.
