Summary

With over ten years of intensive professional experience, I have contributed to the design and creation of multiple platform-independent infrastructures for modern cloud systems, including building an OpenStack-based cloud from the ground up. I have hands-on expertise operating in large-scale environments, with strong focus on observability, automation, scripting, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). My 20 years of experience in operating systems, networking, and hardware have enabled me to achieve these results.
