## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a hands-on senior platform or infrastructure role in Stockholm or elsewhere in Sweden, remote or hybrid, with ownership from platform design and delivery through reliability and day-to-day operations.
```

## About

```text
At Ericsson, I contribute to Ericsson Private 5G, automating multi-region GKE infrastructure with Terraform, Terragrunt, Helm, and GitLab CI/CD. I introduced a log audit trail framework to improve platform stability, reliability, and observability.

At Doist, I migrated infrastructure from EC2-based systems to Docker and AWS ECS, and introduced Infrastructure as Code and GitOps automation. Deployment cadence rose from roughly once a week to four or five times a day.

Across work at Virtusize, EMC, and a Web3 project, I’ve maintained cloud and Kubernetes platforms, automated infrastructure, and supported reliable delivery. I’m based in Gothenburg and building my long-term career in Sweden.
