I've been doing DevOps well before the term was invented. I have extensive experience with all aspects of DevOps / DevSecOps / CloudOps / systems engineering / SRE, with special focus on IaaS, CI/CD, HA/DR design, Azure/AWS architecture and data-driven platforms.

My technical specialisations include: Cloud (Azure / AWS / GCP - infrastructure, architecture, scalability, performance, networking, security), DevOps (Terraform, Azure DevOps, ArgoCD, GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins) and data-processing technologies (Kafka, Solr, Lucene, Elasticsearch, Mongo, RDBMSes, Hadoop, Storm).

My track record of successful, stable and long-running deliverables is the thing that I am most proud of in my IT career.

I also provide on-demand, fixed-price DevOps services for startups, growth companies, emergency services and specialised jobs. Each of my deliverables is tuned to your company, your products and customers, and the way your teams work. I only provide solutions that fit.
