I build cloud image delivery pipelines and Linux infrastructure automation at scale.
PolandWhat I'm looking for
At Bloombert, I own cloud image delivery for GPU and general-purpose server images, building Jenkins and Packer pipelines for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. My Python tooling validates cloud-init templates, signs artifacts, and catches configuration issues before publishing.
I build reproducible Ubuntu image testing with QEMU and pytest, tune containerd-based runners, and work with cloud partners on AMI packaging, VM extensions, guest agents, and kernel-module compatibility. I also contribute upstream fixes to cloud-init and grub integrations that improved first-boot time by 40% in partner clouds.
Across PwC, Globant, and Hyland, I've automated image builds, VM provisioning, CI/CD, packaging, observability, and Linux systems work. I enjoy owning delivery automation, debugging difficult platform issues, mentoring engineers, and contributing to open source.
