What I'm looking for

I’m open to roles across Europe.

At MEDICAL DECISION ALLIANCE, I’m accountable for production infrastructure, from architecture and security to availability and recovery. I set the platform strategy and delivered a Terraform and Ansible setup for around 50 Linux servers, with CIS hardening, tested backups and documented recovery procedures.

At Novartis, I owned the enterprise Ansible platform supporting UNIX/Linux operations for around 5,000 servers. I helped grow the automation function into a 30-person organisation, and the platform reached more than 80 production use cases, cutting delivery from weeks to minutes and removing over 100,000 minutes of manual effort per month.

My work has also included designing high-availability infrastructure for an AI image processing startup and building infrastructure for a financial technology startup. I’m a Red Hat Certified Engineer and am open to roles across Europe.
