What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a full-time Systems Architect/DevOps role to design scalable, cost-efficient cloud-native platforms, lead infrastructure decisions, mentor teams, and ensure high availability—open to remote or on-site opportunities.

A seasoned Systems Architect and DevOps Engineer with over a decade of expertise in designing and operating mission-critical Linux and cloud-native infrastructures. Specializing in Kubernetes, Docker, Self managed and AWS Cloud solutions to build scalable and resilient platforms.

I have driven major cost-optimization and migration projects, including migrating an AdTech stack to a self-managed containerized platform that delivered direct annual savings of over €72,000. I’ve architected solutions across ad delivery, video streaming, large-scale AEM and SAP Hybris integrations, and serverless video delivery while streamlining CI/CD workflows with Jenkins, VSTS, GitHub, and GitLab CI.

I proactively design for redundancy, failover and observability while bridging high-level architectural vision with hands-on engineering. I enjoy mentoring teams, reducing cloud bloat through right-sizing, and delivering reliable, maintainable infrastructure with minimal oversight.
