Passionate about building robust, scalable infrastructure and automating complex systems
# Crafting Reliable Infrastructure Solutions
With over 5 years of experience in cloud engineering and system administration, I specialize in building and maintaining robust infrastructure solutions. My journey began with traditional Linux system administration and evolved into cloud-native technologies and DevOps practices.
I have extensive experience working in cloud-first environments and high-reliability platforms using AWS, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, VMWare, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible. I'm passionate about infrastructure reliability, automation, and distributed systems.
As an amateur radio operator and homelab enthusiast, I continuously explore new technologies and contribute to the infrastructure and DevOps community.
