What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and operate scalable private/hybrid cloud platforms, lead automation initiatives, and mentor teams while solving complex infrastructure and migration challenges.

I am a cloud and infrastructure engineer with 17+ years in enterprise IT, datacentre transformation, and cloud platform engineering, including 12 years of hands-on OpenStack design, deployment, and management across multi-tenant, high-availability environments. I specialize in private cloud architecture, virtualization, container orchestration, and infrastructure automation using Ansible and Terraform, and have strong experience with Ceph, Cinder, Neutron, Nova, Kubernetes, Docker and OpenShift.

I have led and architected private cloud implementations, hybrid integrations with AWS, and automation frameworks that reduced deployment cycles and improved operational efficiency. I bring deep Linux systems administration skills, performance tuning and DR design experience, and a proven track record of bridging traditional infrastructure with cloud-native paradigms to deliver scalable, secure platforms.
