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.
Ventus product was acquired by two companies — EWW, a leading telecommunications provider in Austria, and AXPO, the largest energy provider in Switzerland. My responsibilities remain the same as in Ventus. In addition, I have enabled the cloud platform to leverage Nvidia GPUs (A100, H100, H200, L40S) both for standard virtual machines and as GPU nodes in Kubernetes. I also deliver client-specific, pre-configured GPU environments powered by Kubeflow, providing efficient training and serving of AI models through Infrastructure as Code.
