Reliability Engineer
With 15+ years in tech, I've become a go-to consultant for driving engineering projects and fine-tuning complex systems.
I'm all about automating, optimizing, and securing critical infrastructure. I drive platform and DevEx improvements, and help teams adopt cloud-native, reliable systems.
I lead by example, whether architecting platforms, running incident response, or mentoring teams. From observability to chaos engineering, I deliver resilient systems at scale.

Skills

Infrastructure

Whether in the cloud or on-premises, I design, implement, and maintain robust infrastructures. Proficient in AWS, GCP, and Azure, with solid experience in Proxmox and IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible.

Cloud Native Technologies

Building cloud-native applications, managing orchestration with Kubernetes, Helm, and Harbor, and driving GitOps workflows with Flux across the container lifecycle.

Development & CI/CD

From GitLab CI and CircleCI to end-to-end testing and supply chain security, I architect and maintain build pipelines and platform services.

Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK Stack — I design monitoring and alerting strategies that give teams real-time insight into system health at scale.

Platform Engineering

Self-service tooling, golden paths, and developer onboarding. I build internal platforms that improve DevEx and help teams ship faster.

Reliability

SLOs, incident response, chaos engineering, disaster recovery, and compliance. I build the practices and culture that keep systems resilient.

Certificates

Professional milestones

Consultant, Tech Lead, and Trainer
2023 - present

I lead platform and reliability engagements at enterprise scale, serving as Tech Lead on mission-critical multi-region landing zones and container platforms.

I build compliance automation, self-service infrastructure, and help organizations adopt modern engineering practices.

I train teams on SRE, platform engineering, and developer experience, combining hands-on IC delivery with team leadership.

Head of Infrastructure and Operations
2019 - 2021

I led cross-functional engineering teams at a fast-growing logistics scaleup, owning the full stack from CI/CD to observability and high availability.

I drove a 40% cost reduction through cloud migration and Kubernetes adoption, moving from monolith to microservices.

I also led the expansion into new countries on GCP, scaling infrastructure and performance to match the pace of the business.

Site Reliability Engineer and Tech Lead
2013 - 2018

I pioneered SRE and DevOps practices at enterprise companies in telco and finance, often as the first hire in these roles.

I built teams from the ground up, shaped engineering culture, and developed deep expertise in Linux, automation, and production operations.

It was an exciting time of rapid growth, turning new disciplines into core capabilities.

Software Engineer
2010 - 2013

I kicked off my career as a Software Engineer, focusing on mobile and embedded systems, all while finishing up university.

This was the time when I could put classroom knowledge to the test.

I even joined the university's ACM team and took part in programming contests, which sharpened my problem-solving skills.
