About Me

I'm a DevOps Engineer with over 15 years of experience in IT, passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and building scalable systems that empower development teams.

My journey started with a Computer Systems Engineering degree and has evolved through various industries, from software development to enterprise IT consulting. Today, I focus on infrastructure as code, Kubernetes orchestration, and fostering DevOps culture within organizations.

I believe in continuous learning and staying ahead of the curve. Whether it's exploring MLOps, DataOps, or the latest in cloud-native technologies, I'm always looking for ways to improve and innovate.
