About Phil

DevOps Engineer with a focus on network, automation, cloud infrastructure, and stable environments

I support companies in efficiently building, automating, and reliably operating systems – from initial setup to deep debugging of complex problems.

Focus Areas & Expertise:

  • Building robust network and VPN solutions
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Ansible, automated provisioning
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS / GCP, network architecture, security & best practices
  • CI/CD & Automation: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions – automated & reproducible deployments
  • Debugging & Optimization: Performance tuning, network analysis, incident resolution
  • Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Icinga2

What sets me apart:

I can quickly learn new technologies, tools, or existing systems and deliver results, even if the environment is initially unknown or poorly documented. I place great importance on clean, maintainable solutions that work long-term.
I take on short-term, focused tasks – ideal for companies that need reliable support in the evenings or on an hourly basis.
