I have over 25 years of professional IT experience, spanning Systems Administration and DevOps, with a steady progression toward cloud-native platform engineering. My primary focus is AWS and Kubernetes (AWS EKS), where I design, build, and operate scalable, secure, production-grade cloud infrastructures. I specialize in Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, containerized workloads with Docker, and automated delivery pipelines that enable reliable, highly available systems. Through my company Clusterium, I deliver hands-on DevOps and cloud engineering services—architecting multi-environment AWS architectures, Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD automation, and observability foundations that support modern cloud-native workloads.
