Description

I help companies get their cloud infrastructure right — from the first Terraform module to production-grade platforms running at scale.

With 10+ years in infrastructure engineering and hands-on experience at Microsoft (Azure Containers, enterprise K8s support) and RELEX Solutions (200+ customer environments across 15+ Azure regions), I bring depth in the areas that matter most for modern cloud projects: Azure infrastructure design and security, Terraform IaC at scale,

Kubernetes operations (CKA + CKAD certified), and CI/CD pipeline setup with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions.

What I typically help with: setting up or restructuring Terraform codebases, Kubernetes cluster setup and hardening, Azure identity and security (Entra ID, RBAC, Key Vault, Private Endpoints), GitLab/GitHub CI/CD pipelines, Python automation tooling and internal developer platforms, and cloud infrastructure audits.

I work async-first, deliver clean documentation alongside the work, and focus on leaving your team self-sufficient — not dependent on ongoing engagement.
