Bastian Heilemann

Bastian Heilemann builds infrastructure that helps engineering teams move faster and work safer. With a background in mathematics and computer science, he currently shapes how software is delivered at Carl Zeiss AG.

His focus centers on internal developer platforms and practical AI delegation. He explores how development must evolve, shifting focus from manual implementation to designing architecture, intents, and safety boundaries. At Zeiss, this means building paved paths on Kubernetes and Azure to support a global organization of over 6,000 developers working across cloud applications and cyber-physical systems.
