01 / THE SHORT VERSION↘
The engineer behind the uptime.
I operate business-critical systems across international fintech and banking. My work connects production operations, automation and the small details that make deployments predictable. I have also led a 10-person IT department — and still enjoy getting close to the system when something breaks.

02 / WHAT I DO↘
The work that
keeps work moving.
Hands-on engineering across the full path from code to production.
Releases you can repeat
Improve CI/CD and infrastructure automation with Terraform, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, Helm and GitOps practices.
Signals into answers
Standardize metrics and investigate deployment failures, secrets, configuration, HTTP 502s and Helm releases; document repeatable runbooks.
