What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an IT & systems role where I can own infrastructure reliability, ship practical custom software, and support embedded/production-critical operations—working independently, reducing costs, and keeping systems secure and always-on.

Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of Linux systems administration and 3+ years architecting on-premises containerized infrastructure, hybrid networking, and cloud-adjacent automation, often working with tight capital constraints. Hands-on with AWS and GCP, Docker orchestration, GitOps workflows, and infrastructure-as-code practices, plus solid on-prem experience in Nginx ingress routing, firewall/VLAN segmentation, and SIEM telemetry. Equally comfortable in traditional datacenter environments and cloud-native tooling.
