$ cat about.txt

Senior DevOps Engineer and founder with 9+ years of experience. I design, automate and operate scalable infrastructure across cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments.

I've managed 1500+ production Linux servers, built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment times from hours to minutes, and founded two companies in the hosting, automation and software space. I believe in automation-first, infrastructure as code, and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
