Christoph Vollmann
Azure Cloud Architect & Cloud Networking Fanboy
📋 Biography
I'm Christoph, a Microsoft Azure expert with over 15 years of experience in creating innovative IT solutions. As a versatile professional with a talent for analyzing and solving problems, I'm passionate about helping businesses level up their IT by embracing the power of cloud technologies. Currently, I work as a Managing Consultant in the role of a Cloud Architect and Engineer at Campana & Schott, where I enjoy assisting clients with modern Data and AI solutions, Cloud apps, and Cloud governance. Specialized in Azure Networking, DevOps, and IaC with Terraform and Bicep. I'm also an active speaker at conferences and community meetups, where I’ve shared insights on Azure topics over the past years. When I'm not creating cloud solutions, you can find me on ~30-60km marches in Germany and sometimes in the air in a gyrocopter - but unfortunately always under the clouds, because of Visual Flight Rules.
