What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer, DevOps Team Lead, Infrastructure Team Lead, Cloud Operations Lead, or Platform Engineering leadership role.

At Synbiotix Solutions, I’m the sole DevOps and infrastructure engineer, responsible for Azure, Microsoft 365, security controls, and developer tooling. I manage Azure DevOps pipelines and automate operational work to make administration and deployments more repeatable.

I also administer BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management, including credential vaulting, access policies, and audit reporting. I provide technical incident ownership through ClearSkies and maintain governance documentation aligned with ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials requirements.

Before Synbiotix Solutions, I supported Kubernetes application platforms and Jenkins pipelines at Amdocs Limassol, and designed and administered Kubernetes clusters and Docker environments at NCR Nicosia. Earlier, I administered enterprise infrastructure and Microsoft services at Hellenic Bank and delivered IT support at Christodoulos G Vassiliades & CO LLC.
