What I'm looking for

I seek senior DevOps/cloud roles focused on automation, reliable CI/CD, secure infrastructure, cross-team collaboration, and opportunities to modernize platform practices.

I am a DevOps and Cloud specialist with extensive experience designing, automating, and operating enterprise infrastructure across AWS and on-prem UNIX/Linux environments.

Over my career I have architected CI/CD pipelines, microservices deployment patterns, and DevSecOps dashboards while standardizing pipelines and automations using Ansible, XebiaLabs, Bamboo and related tooling.

I have delivered operational reliability and incident resolution for large European institutions, led UNIX and virtualization projects, migrated databases and systems to cloud platforms, and implemented monitoring, alerting and security hardening.

I bring strong cross-team collaboration with architects, developers and platform teams, a track record of cost optimization and uptime improvements, and a practical focus on repeatable automation and ITIL-aligned processes.
