Introduction

I am a DevOps Engineer managing production environments that range from bare-metal hosting to cloud computing. I deploy bare-metal servers and containerized edge infrastructure for fast service delivery, and I build CI/CD pipelines to automate routine work. I work well in teams and independently, and I keep expectations clear for colleagues and stakeholders alike.

I am at-home in Linux-based environments, and have professional experience managing both Debian & RHEL-based distro's.

Certifications

Skills

TypeScript

Web development with an emphasis on type safety. I prefer Bun for its performance advantages over the standard Node.js engine.

Python

Automation and backend tasks. I manage environments and packages using Astral's uv and uvx.

Docker

Deploying applications and stacks with consistent, dependency-free releases. I publish custom tools to GitHub and my own Git instance.

Linux

Ubuntu is my primary operating system for production and development; I prefer Debian-based systems for their stability and feature sets. Also on production: Debian, AlmaLinux (RHEL), Fedora, Alpine. Plus experience with Arch-based platforms.
