What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging role and/or environment.

Senior SRE/DevOps engineer and platform architect with 20+ years running production infrastructure, the last 8 fully remote and async. I operate Kubernetes and Nomad at the hundreds-of-services scale, write infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, Packer), and own the reliability, security and cost posture of multi-tenant platforms with cross-jurisdiction data-residency requirements.
Recent results: 400+ production services migrated from Nomad to Kubernetes; ~€21K/year cut from a single cloud bill; environment provisioning reduced from days-to-weeks down to under a day; ISO 27001 certification supported without adding manual gates to the developer workflow. Consultancy-native — I drop into scaleup engineering orgs, take on-call alongside their teams, and leave behind paved paths and runbooks they can operate without me. Also build agentic AI and RAG systems in Go and Python, with API, MCP and CLI surfaces.
