About

I am a DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer in transition with a strong background in critical technical infrastructures, networking, and distributed systems.

For more than 10 years I have worked in high-pressure, high-availability environments (broadcast, live events, videoconferencing, AV over IP), where reliability, observability and fast incident response are mandatory.

That background shaped the way I work today: system thinking, automation, operational discipline and a strong focus on stability.

What I work with

  • Linux systems (on-prem, administration, services, networking)
  • Containers: Docker, Docker Compose
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions
  • Networking: VLANs, firewalling, segmentation, DNS
  • Reverse proxy & TLS: NGINX, internal DNS (Bind9)
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana
  • Declarative configurations and reproducible environments (YAML-based workflows)

Currently progressing towards:

  • Kubernetes (K3s)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Ansible)

Projects

🏗️ HomeLab – On-Prem Infrastructure

Design and operation of a real on-prem infrastructure environment:

  • Segmented network (VLANs)
  • Internal DNS and reverse proxy
  • CI/CD pipelines for services
  • Monitoring and observability

Focus: reliability, clarity and reproducibility.

🔧 Weaver – Microservices Platform

Microservices-based platform deployed in my homelab:

  • Dockerized services
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions
  • Internal networking and routing
  • Prepared for future migration to Kubernetes

🌐 Personal Website

Personal website designed as a long-term engineering project:

  • Clean repository structure
  • Versioned configuration
  • Automated build & deployment
  • Focus on maintainability and clarity

How I think

  • I design systems end-to-end, not isolated components
  • I value clarity over complexity
  • I prefer simple, observable solutions
  • I come from operations, so failure modes matter
  • I build things to last and to be understood
