PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary Telecoms and DevOps engineer with more than 20 years' experience in IPTV/OTT systems, network automation, and cloud-based video delivery. I combine deep networking knowledge with hands-on scripting and automation to deliver reliable large-scale solutions.
Throughout my career I have driven root-cause analysis, CI/CD pipeline implementation, and infrastructure optimization across operator and vendor environments. I have integrated STBs, OTT clients, and back-office microservices, and supported field trials and deployments end-to-end.
Technically, I am fluent in Python, Bash/shell, Perl, Ansible and a range of web and cloud tools (AWS, Serverless, Kubernetes, Grafana, Kibana). I regularly use Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Postman, SOAPUI and Wireshark for testing, troubleshooting and documentation.
I am passionate about cybersecurity, automation-first DevOps practices and continuous improvement, and I bring strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset to multicultural teams focused on resilient, automated video and network services.
