About Jeffrey Böhm
Independent IT consultant with 15+ years across e-commerce, enterprise software and cloud infrastructure. Shopware, Symfony, Kubernetes — strategic advisory and hands-on delivery.
I’m an independent IT consultant based in Germany, with over 15 years of experience across e-commerce, enterprise software and cloud infrastructure.
I started as a software engineer, moved into architecture and technical leadership, and have spent the last several years working as an independent consultant — advising organisations on technology decisions and leading implementations that actually ship.
Why independent?
Because honest advice and vendor interests don’t mix well. As an independent consultant I can tell a client when a platform is the wrong choice, when a project is too large to deliver as planned, or when the simpler solution is the better one. That’s harder to do when you’re selling something.
How I work
I favour written deliverables over slide decks — assessments, architecture decisions, and roadmaps that a team can act on without me in the room. I work in focused engagements: a defined scope, a clear output, a realistic timeline.
Background
My technical foundation is broad — from ERP systems and regulated environments (health insurance, government) to large-scale e-commerce (Shopware, Symfony), cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, GitOps), and AI integration. I hold Shopware and Symfony developer certifications and am an Elasticsearch Engineer.
I’m also a maintainer of docker-mailserver, an open-source project with hundreds of active users worldwide.
Available for
Independent advisory engagements, architecture reviews, technology selection, and hands-on implementation — for SME and enterprise clients in Germany and beyond.
