What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my DevOps expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on cloud security and automation.

I am a results-driven Senior DevOps Engineer with over 11 years of experience in cloud infrastructure, automation, and security. My expertise lies in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines, utilizing Kubernetes, AWS, and Infrastructure as Code to enhance system performance and scalability. I have a proven track record of leading DevOps transformations, implementing security best practices, and optimizing deployment strategies.

In my current role at Syskron GmbH, I have successfully designed and implemented cloud-native DevOps solutions, developed CI/CD pipelines, and automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Ansible. My efforts have significantly reduced provisioning time and improved cloud costs and performance. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with cross-functional teams to develop tailored industrial IoT solutions and providing expert guidance in software architecture and upgrade strategies.

My previous experiences at Hubert Burda Media and EPAM Systems have further honed my skills in leading teams, architecting CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring compliance with security standards. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in DevOps, cloud security, and automation to contribute to innovative software and system development.
