About me

I am a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building, operating, and automating Linux and cloud-native platforms. My background centers on Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, and production troubleshooting across complex multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

I have worked extensively with AWS, GCP, OCI, Azure, Yandex Cloud, OpenStack, IBM Cloud, and OpenShift, as well as virtualization and systems platforms such as VMware, Xen, KVM, FreeBSD, Triton SmartOS, and OpenZFS-backed storage systems. I enjoy standardizing infrastructure across environments and improving reliability, scalability, and operational consistency.

In my recent roles, I supported multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure, managed platform operations, and contributed to cloud standardization efforts. I have hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, Consul, Argo CD, Drone CI, Jenkins, and Jenkins Configuration as Code, along with production support and automation for cloud-native workloads.

I also have strong experience in security and compliance processes, including SOC 2 and PCI DSS-aligned controls. My work has included access controls, infrastructure hardening, audit evidence collection, and operational documentation to support secure and compliant delivery.

Earlier in my career, I delivered infrastructure automation and cloud platform work for multiple clients through freelance and consulting engagements. I built Kubernetes autoscaling and GitOps pipelines, created automation playbooks, and supported bare-metal and cloud deployments across a variety of environments.

My foundation in hardware, networking, and systems administration has helped me develop a practical, production-focused approach to infrastructure engineering. I am open to remote, EMEA, and Belgrade hybrid roles where I can contribute to reliable platform engineering and cloud operations.
