About.

A brief look behind the scenes of Mar IT Solutions – who's behind it and what brought me here.

The Human Layer.

"Good architecture is invisible — until it’s missing."

With over 5 years of experience in the public cloud - mainly with Microsoft Azure - I started my journey in platform operations and daily infrastructure management.

Later on, I shifted my focus towards consulting and implementation - especially around Azure Landing Zones, Governance, and Security. Azure is my core expertise, but I also bring experience with AWS.

Julian Martin

Master of Science

I particularly enjoy working with DevOps tools like Azure DevOps, GitLab or GitHub, as well as container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

Privately, I am a father of two and passionate about game development, 3D rendering, and modern graphics technology in my free time.
