Infrastructure is the product nobody sees — until it breaks.
I make sure it doesn't.
I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience automating the path from code to production. My work sits at the intersection of development and operations: building CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications, provisioning cloud infrastructure, and keeping a close eye on everything once it ships.
Across four teams — from startups to established agencies — I've deployed and maintained PHP, Laravel, WordPress, Node.js, NestJS and React applications on AWS and Ubuntu servers, backed by monitoring stacks like ELK, Zabbix and Grafana so issues get caught before users notice them.
I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science from the University of Management & Technology, and I'm AWS Certified as both a Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate.
The stack I operate in daily.
Six areas, one goal: ship reliably, recover fast, sleep at night.
Containers & Orchestration
CI/CD & Automation
Cloud & Infrastructure
Observability & Monitoring
Databases
Systems & Networking
What I bring to a team.
Six ways I typically get pulled into a project.
Server Management
Installing, configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting Linux servers so critical systems stay available and secure.
Web Servers
Deploying on Apache and Nginx with SSL/TLS, virtual hosts, load balancing and caching tuned for performance.
Database Administration
Backup and restore procedures, optimization and performance tuning across MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
Monitoring & Alerts
Configuring Nagios, Zabbix and Prometheus-style monitoring with alerts and automated responses for uptime.
Code Management
Version control, branching strategy and CI/CD pipelines that streamline workflows and protect code quality.
Cloud Services
Designing and managing AWS infrastructure — EC2, S3, RDS, VPC — for scalable, cost-effective deployments.
