Cloud systems engineer delivering secure, automated cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Systems Engineer and Technical Leader with 20+ years in cloud infrastructure, Linux administration, DevOps automation, and cybersecurity across critical enterprise environments. I focus on containerization, orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code to make complex platforms dependable and repeatable.
At Robert Bosch GmbH (Dec 2017–Current), I lead Cloud Data Services automation and cloud consulting with responsibility for design and technical guidance on emerging technologies. I also drive security and compliance initiatives as a Security Manager—conducting Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) and implementing robust control strategies for cloud data services, alongside Tier-3 operations support.
I build automation that reduces operational friction using Concourse, Jenkins, Terraform, Bash, Ansible, and related orchestration tooling, while modernizing infrastructure through Kubernetes Operators and upstream contributions (including bosh openstack cpi). Earlier, at PDVSA, I engineered high-availability and disaster recovery using HP platforms and developed open-source components like an oVirt-based HA cluster and an HP-UX Monitor (SSH) ZenPack to improve real-world performance and reliability.
