About Me

Senior DevOps and Cloud Architect with 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering scalable, reliable infrastructure across various cloud environments. I’ve worked with nearly all modern DevOps tools and approaches, and I stay deeply involved in implementation—not just planning or oversight. Excellent communication skills enable me to collaborate with clients, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality results.

I always look for practical, hands-on roles in product-focused teams, where I can contribute to real engineering challenges and help mature infrastructure and CI/CD practices. Recognized for strong ownership, high performance, and a pragmatic approach. Passionate about DevOps as both a discipline and a mindset.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active in DevOps communities, and experimenting with new tools and automations.
