What I'm looking for

I seek roles building self-service platform engineering and automated cloud infrastructure, prioritizing developer experience, observability, and cost-efficient, production-ready systems in collaborative teams.

I am a DevOps and Platform Engineer with ten years of experience building self-service platform foundations and automating cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I have delivered enterprise-scale infrastructure for clients including HBO Max and Disney Parks and built Kubernetes platforms from scratch in both startup and enterprise environments.

I led a cloud migration for a 1,000-employee firm that reduced costs by over 40%, and I architect CI/CD and GitOps workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Terraform, and Terragrunt. I prioritize developer experience, automation, and reliable operational runbooks to reduce manual intervention and improve mean time to recovery.

As a former university lecturer, I translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and have created courses on DevOps, Python, and Industry 4.0, teaching over 150 students and delivering government trainings. My work emphasizes documentation, observability, and secure infrastructure practices.

I enjoy practical, production-focused engineering: implementing self-service deployment pipelines, reducing tech debt, and enabling teams to move from hours to minutes for deployments while maintaining SLA compliance and operational excellence.
