What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an infrastructure, platform, or DevOps role where I can build, migrate, secure, and operate reliable production systems.

I've led infrastructure and product delivery for unde.io, a Moldova-based events and ticketing platform, where I migrated the full platform from Azure to Hetzner with no data loss and operated its self-managed k3s and ArgoCD cluster.

I built production integrations for reserved seating, payments, POS systems, ticket printing, event email workflows, and Telegram automation. I also replaced a legacy Java ticket-printing service with a Go-based gateway, agent, and TSPL renderer in two days.

Since 2023, I've worked as an infrastructure contractor for a Swiss hosting company, operating crypto nodes, DNS platforms, virtualization infrastructure, and hardened Linux servers. I've also audited and migrated a 39-server video-hosting fleet serving more than 150,000 active users.

I build independent hospitality and retail products with reproducible NixOS deployments, CI security gates, automated rollback, and operational alerting. I'm looking for an infrastructure, platform, or DevOps role where I can get systems live quickly and keep them dependable.
