Introduction
I'm a dedicated Cloud and On-Premise Engineer with a focus on building highly available and secure systems. I specialize in both public and private cloud platforms, including AWS, Proxmox, and OpenStack. With expertise in Linux system administration and hardening, I ensure environments are secure, efficient, and production-ready. Driven by a security-first mindset, I design infrastructure that is secure by default and resilient throughout its lifecycle. For critical applications, I implement pipelines using DevSecOps and shift-left security practices—reducing operational overhead, enabling fast vulnerability response, and supporting automated deployments and rollbacks for safer, more reliable releases.
