I'm a senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with over 20 years of hands-on experience in Linux system administration, automation, and software development.
Since 2016, I've been deeply involved with AWS, currently managing EC2 instances, RDS, EKS, and ECS clusters, and continuous integration and deployment across AWS and Hetzner. I have also more than two years of hands-on experience with GCP.
Site Reliability is at the core of my approach. I design, implement, and maintain robust systems that prioritize uptime, performance, and scalability.
My toolbox includes:
- Observability: Deep expertise in setting up end-to-end monitoring, logging, and alerting systems using Grafana/Prometheus/OTEL, Datadog, and Zabbix. I've even rolled my own observability implementation for a client. I believe true reliability is impossible without actionable, high-quality data.
- Automation: I build self-healing and auto-scaling infrastructure using infrastructure as code principles via Terraform, Ansible, Shell Scripting, and custom Python, eliminating toil and reducing MTTR.
- Incident Response & Reliability: Experience managing and resolving incidents. I've built custom monitoring and management apps, as well as fine-tuned alerting for actionable signals to minimize noise.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code. I always choose solutions that fit your unique needs, not the latest buzzwords.
- Orchestration & Virtualization: Docker and Kubernetes
- CI/CD: Github Actions, Jenkins, DroneCI
My mindset: KISS principle, root cause analysis, blameless postmortems, and a relentless focus on measurable improvements.
I take a problem-first, no-nonsense approach—I'll recommend, then implement, the stack that best supports your business goals. My commitment is to make your infrastructure secure, observable, scalable, and boringly reliable.
