@michaelhenzl
DevOps and Cloud Engineer specializing in cost-efficient infrastructure automation.
CzechiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with nearly five years of experience delivering infrastructure automation, cost optimization, and backend development for multiple clients. I specialize in migrating workloads from managed services to self-hosted Linux/Kubernetes environments and establishing stable automation.
Over the last three years I have led project-based architectural transformations—designing lightweight K3s clusters on Hetzner, implementing GitOps with ArgoCD, and building custom tooling such as a high-performance Python CDN that reduced costs by 90% while maintaining low latency. I have also acted as a Cloud Solution Architect for enterprise clients, creating automation with Terraform, Python, and Bash.
I thrive on solving critical infrastructure challenges, improving reliability, and lowering cloud spend. I am seeking a new challenge where I can apply my experience in long-term roles or focused projects to build efficient, cost-effective platforms.
