Profile

Current focus: container orchestration, predictive monitoring, and scalable platform operations.

As an IT Infrastructure Engineer and Solution Architect, I design scalable and resilient architectures with a strong focus on Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and enterprise automation.

I bring more than six years of experience in DevOps, system monitoring, microservices, and high-availability infrastructure, with an emphasis on security, efficiency, and performance.

I am passionate about open-source technologies, infrastructure automation, and building observability systems that make operations proactive.

Teaching and mentoring are part of my job. When I explain what I know, I understand it better. Rock climbing taught me structure, strategy, and focus; every infrastructure I build has constraints, steps, and risks, so I plan ahead, adapt fast, and stay calm.
