What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at BICS, I specialize in the administration, configuration, and management of Linux servers across multiple data centers globally. My expertise includes implementing and maintaining RedHat Ceph software-defined storage, infrastructure as code with Ansible and Terraform, and setting up monitoring solutions using Prometheus and Grafana. I have successfully managed complex hybrid clusters and have a strong focus on automation and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various technologies and tools, including Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Hashicorp Vault. My experience spans multiple roles, from Linux System Engineer to DevOps Engineer, where I have consistently delivered high-quality solutions and improved operational processes. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive innovation and enhance system performance.
