GitOps Platform](https://technotungi.com/work/9-orcrist): Inherited a platform that was thin on security, reliability, scalability, and observability. Rebuilt it around GitOps, policy-as-code, and zero-trust defaults. - [E.ON. AI-native Observability](https://technotungi.com/work/7-eon): AI productionization for 8M+ energy customers under KRITIS. Six monitoring tools consolidated into one platform. 2M+ monthly LLM interactions at 92% accuracy. - [Nelly. PVS & Embedded Finance](https://technotungi.com/work/6-nelly): Every new medical practice meant a manual integration. Scaling to 1,200+ practices and three countries meant fixing that first. - [Telefónica. Omnichannel CDP](https://technotungi.com/work/5-telefonica): Customer data scattered across nine touchpoints. A unified CDP brought 21% cart recovery and 100K+ personalized messages. - [PLAIN.

Internal Cloud Platform](https://technotungi.com/work/2-allianz): Cloud infrastructure was fractured across 70+ countries. A self-service platform replaced provisioning that took 12–18 months at its worst with days. - [Volkswagen. Agent Commerce](https://technotungi.com/work/3-volkswagen): How Volkswagen moved to direct-to-consumer sales across five brands and five markets on one shared commerce platform. - [gesund. E-Rezept Platform](https://technotungi.com/work/1-Gesund): Germany’s independent pharmacies needed a digital prescription platform before mail-order took over.
