What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote B2B or C2C work where I can build and operate reliable platform infrastructure, automate delivery and operations, and solve production challenges across Linux, Kubernetes, networking, observability, and telecom systems.

I run production infrastructure for Net-Connect Group, a wholesale voice and SMS carrier operating across European datacenter sites. I’ve progressed from SMS engineering through VoIP network engineering into platform and infrastructure engineering, supporting real-time, revenue-critical telecom services.

I modernize Linux, virtualization, networking, and delivery platforms using Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Ansible, Prometheus, and Grafana. My work includes CDR-safe fleet recovery tooling, GitOps deployments, secure SSH access automation, NetBox as an infrastructure source of truth, and self-hosted AI tooling with least-privilege MCP access to production data.

I also build carrier products such as a Kamailio-based session border controller that saves USD 7,000 monthly in licensing, route-testing and CDR-reconciliation platforms, and Asterisk codec tooling. I enjoy solving operational problems close to live traffic, from SIP and SS7 signalling to observability, security, and automation.
