What I'm looking for

I’m open to hybrid or remote roles across Europe.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I work as a Senior Platform Infrastructure Engineer and Global Virtualization SPOC (L3). My background spans hybrid environments, from VMware and Nutanix deployments to cloud-native GKE platforms on GCP and AWS.

At Expenti, I managed a hybrid Kubernetes platform across on-premises VMware and OpenStack clusters and GKE, provisioned with Terraform and Ansible. I also handled incident response, platform reliability, and Cloudflare edge configuration.

At The Workshop, I implemented NetApp ONTAP FabricPool tiered storage with S3 offload, managed multi-protocol storage, and designed SVM-level disaster recovery relationships. I’ve also delivered technical certification training on NetApp and Splunk and conducted VMware and Nutanix workshops for clients and partners.
