What I'm looking for

I seek infrastructure/cloud roles focused on automation, reliability, and secure platform delivery, with opportunities to lead architecture and scale systems.

I am a Senior Systems Engineer with over three years of hands-on experience managing and optimizing enterprise infrastructure across datacenters and cloud environments. I focus on reliability, capacity planning, and minimizing downtime for production systems.

My core work has included OpenStack cloud administration, datacenter design, SAN deployment (iSCSI & Fibre Channel), and provisioning VPN-as-a-service. I lead architecture planning, R&D, and automation efforts to deliver scalable systems.

I build automation and CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Ansible, Terraform and GitHub, and manage monitoring and observability with Zabbix, Prometheus and Grafana. I have deployed and maintained platforms like HashiCorp Vault and PostgreSQL DBaaS.

I bring strong Linux and server administration skills, virtualization experience with Xen and Proxmox, and a customer-focused support background. I seek roles where I can drive infrastructure reliability, automation, and secure platform delivery.
