About me

"When humans do stuff that computers can do for them, computers will gather at night and laugh at the human"

I'm a software developer with a wide range of knowledge and interests. My current position is Site Reliability Engineer, but I'm basically around DevOps for more than 8 years now. Originally I've started in web development, but then started to shift my career towards DevOps; I'm also interested in topics like cyber security, and because of this I'm more than capable in helping and advising in any part of the development lifecycle. Most of my experience is in managing services running on AWS and Kubernetes, but I have used GCP as well in some of my pet-projects. Building CI/CD pipelines and realizing savings in infrastructural costs are also high on my list.

Learning and keeping up with technology is important to me, and I know that my wide range of interests helps me redirecting myself and the people I work with towards the best possible solutions.

  • I love learning new stuff
  • Problem solving is my essence

Core values

  • Openness: without new ideas or understanding new perspectives, it is impossible to improve and evolve.
  • Tolerance: I believe that we can only work together on the long run, if we are willing to understand and accept others opinion and identity.
  • Mutual respect: when we work together, it's important to value each other's work, and their energy and time they put into it.
