About

I’m a hands-on Linux and infrastructure expert with a passion for building resilient, scalable systems from bare metal to cloud. Over the years I’ve led zero-downtime migrations, large-scale data-center transformations, and AI-powered automation initiatives, delivering measurable cost savings and faster developer workflows. I thrive in challenging environments where I can design robust architectures, automate end-to-end operations, and mentor teams to adopt best practices.

Current focus includes AI agent frameworks, local/offline AI setups for secure environments, and production-grade Python-based services. I’m open to Senior Linux/DevOps IC roles onsite or remote, with immediate relocation available.
