What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in cloud infrastructure and automation.

I am a seasoned Senior Infrastructure Engineer with extensive experience in managing and automating complex Linux/*NIX infrastructures and cloud services. My expertise lies in migrating legacy systems to Kubernetes and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, all while collaborating effectively with agile teams in remote settings. I pride myself on my strong foundation in networking, cloud-native solutions, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which allows me to create streamlined, high-performance, scalable, and secure IT solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led migrations of services from virtual machines to Kubernetes, developed frameworks for deploying Dockerized applications, and enhanced automation through Jenkins and GitHub Actions. My role as an Interim Engineering Manager allowed me to lead a team using Agile Scrum methodology, significantly improving process efficiency. I have a proven track record of reducing costs and improving scalability through strategic migrations and optimizations.

With a Master’s degree in Physics and Information Science, I combine technical expertise with analytical skills to solve complex problems. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive innovation and efficiency in IT infrastructures.
