- 🐧 Co-Founder & CTO @ PoetikPenguin — independent infra practice (sysadmin.pt)
- ☁️ Cloud architecture on AWS / GCP / Azure (...but i rather not) — greenfield to multi-region, designed for the bill at the end of the month

- 🚨 SRE: SLOs, runbooks, on-call and incident review — practiced, not theorized
- 🔐 Zero-trust networks, mesh VPN, and the boring kind of infra that just works at 3am
