My Tools
About Me
Open-minded engineer with over 15 years of IT experience building infrastructure and developing software. My current focus lies in designing cloud-native infrastructure, leading platform migrations, building developer tooling, and turning chaos into automation. Whether it's Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, or security compliance, I make systems work so teams can focus on shipping.
Passionate and keen to tackle new interesting projects!
