About

I am an independent DevOps and cloud-native consultant focused on helping small and mid-sized teams design and implement cost-efficient, observable, and easy-to-operate infrastructure. I specialize in infrastructure as code, automation, and guiding projects from assessment through implementation and handover. I tailor each solution to business goals, team size, and technical context, and I have worked with both early-stage and scaling startups. My work typically involves defining practical improvement roadmaps, mentoring development teams, designing and building monitoring/observability platforms, driving infrastructure automation, resolving instability in Kubernetes environments, and planning cloud migrations. I’m passionate about helping teams become autonomous by developing cloud-native mindsets and capabilities.
