What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values hard work and fosters collaboration without being micromanaged. If project members span multiple TZs I like to have a sync call at a convenient time for all.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 20 years of experience in IT, specializing in cloud solutions and automation. Currently, I work remotely for Kopius, where I implement CI/CD practices and security best practices for various clients. My expertise includes AWS, Azure, on-premises and hybrid environments, ensuring that projects meet high standards of quality and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have led IT teams and managed significant projects, such as migrating on-premises solutions to cloud environments and implementing DevOps culture within organizations. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my role as a mentor, where I conducted training and assessments to enhance team performance. I hold a BSc in IT Management and several certifications, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert.
