About me
Intro
DevOps / Platform engineer who enjoys turning complex infrastructure into clear, reliable systems. I work mainly with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD and cloud platforms, helping teams ship faster without breaking things. Hands-on, pragmatic, and comfortable across dev and ops. I also run a homelab for fun, because apparently I don’t automate enough at work already.
