CTO and Cloud SRE/DevOps leader building secure, scalable automation and infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CTO and Cloud SRE/DevOps leader with more than 20 years of experience managing automation server infrastructures and data-center operations. I help organizations modernize systems, reduce costs, and accelerate growth through secure, scalable, and flexible technology.
At EstructuraBit, I define and execute the technological strategy by uniting IT infrastructure and cloud environments with intelligent solutions that improve internal operations, customer interaction, and business opportunities. I combine the management of critical systems with advanced AI-driven automation focused on reliability and efficiency.
Previously, I strengthened release management and self-service capabilities at lastminute.com, administering infrastructure through Terraform and supporting legacy migrations to AWS with Kubernetes and Docker. Across mission-critical roles, I’ve led high-availability deployments (including EKS/GKE and SAP on clustered platforms), root-cause incident resolution, and Infrastructure-as-Code automation using GitOps and CI/CD tooling.
