Hi, my name is

Johannes Schulz.

About

I build and ship fullstack products — features, refactors, and embedded delivery across the entire stack. From React/Next.js frontends to Python/FastAPI backends, PostgreSQL databases, and AWS/Docker infrastructure. Clean architecture, no unnecessary abstractions, focused on systems that scale.

I've built LLM-powered features, RAG pipelines, and custom agentic systems — backed by an M.Sc. in Machine Learning from the University of Tübingen. This includes production work with OpenCLAW infrastructure, structural analysis systems, and the CAPS framework (Claude Automated Programming System).

For early-stage products, I set up entire stacks: frontend, API, database, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring. I've also worked fractionally as tech lead and architect — system design, architectural decisions, code reviews, async technical leadership. Projects span enterprise platform migrations (€1.2M/year savings), computer vision pipelines (90%+ clinical accuracy), and multi-agent orchestration platforms.

Technologies I work with daily:

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Next.js
  • FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker
  • AWS

Currently available for contract work — ~25h/week, remote.

Projects

A selection of my work spanning enterprise platform migrations, AI systems, and production infrastructure — from reverse-engineering Palantir Foundry to building self-hosted platforms and computer vision pipelines.

Enterprise Platform Migration

Decommissioned €100k/month Palantir Foundry enterprise platform and migrated 9.5 TB of production data with 8,435 resources to self-hosted infrastructure at €200/month — zero downtime, complete functionality preserved

Palantir Foundry
Playwright
PostgreSQL
Docker
Dagster
Cloudflare Zero Trust

Results:

  • ✓ 99.8% cost reduction: €100,000/month → €200/month
  • ✓ 9.5 TB migrated across 1,676 datasets with zero data loss
  • ✓ 362 pipeline definitions captured, 204 repositories cloned with full Git history
  • ✓ 6 production services running with zero downtime incidents over 6 months
  • ✓ Zero non-idiomatic code merged to production after blocking hooks introduced
  • ✓ Complete vendor de-risking from proprietary platform dependency

Self-Hosted Production Infrastructure

Git-driven deployment platform running ~10 production services for ~5 developers on a single Hetzner dedicated server — replacing enterprise SaaS with fully owned infrastructure featuring automated deployments, multi-service orchestration, and comprehensive backup strategy

Docker
GitHub Actions
Watchtower
PostgreSQL
Nginx
BorgBackup

Results:

  • ✓ ~5 developers deploying without SSH access via automated pipeline
  • ✓ 10 production services running with automatic SSL renewal
  • ✓ Daily automated backups with local + off-site redundancy
  • ✓ Complete infrastructure reproducible from single Git repository
  • ✓ Zero manual deployment steps — sub-7-minute push-to-live cycle

Customer Support Automation

Production-grade customer support automation combining n8n workflow orchestration, 6 specialized AI agents, and Palantir Foundry integration to deliver coach-level support with deep customer context and expert knowledge retrieval

n8n
n8n
Gemini API
Palantir Foundry
LangChain
ChromaDB
Slack API

Results:

  • ✓ 1 week framework setup → 2 months junior team expansion (13x growth in Action Handler)
  • ✓ Zero AI hallucination incidents (hook system prevented configuration errors)
  • ✓ Coach-level responses with customer biomechanics, training history, and expert knowledge
  • ✓ Complete Slack-native helpdesk with live queues, voice replies, and automated media pipelines

Yohann Doillon

Partner & Chief Commercial Officer at 10x Partners Sàrl

Working together with Johannes has been a great pleasure from day 1. Johannes is a great professional who does not only finds creative ways of solving problems, he's also a great communicator AND listener. I would highly recommend Johannes to anyone who's looking for a dedicated, AI-first and forward-thinking engineer!

Armin Soyka

CEO & Co-Founder at The Original Body AG

Johannes was one of the most technically capable and reliable engineers I've worked with. What stood out wasn't just his skill, but his judgment — I found myself consulting him on architecture decisions, team situations, and engineering trade-offs well beyond his immediate scope. He has a rare ability to take on genuinely complex problems and return with solutions that are both elegant and practical. I'd work with him again without hesitation.
