I have spent my career designing and managing private clouds, storage platforms, and automation workflows for high-traffic, high-uptime environments. My background includes OpenStack, Ceph, NetApp, Docker Swarm, Ansible, Terraform, MAAS, and observability stacks built around Grafana and related tooling. I have led platform modernization efforts for large organizations, including containerizing legacy services, improving deployment consistency, and building GitOps-style workflows for faster and safer releases. I enjoy solving infrastructure problems that require both architectural thinking and hands-on implementation. A major part of my work has been operating at scale, from multi-petabyte storage environments to large server fleets and high-volume production systems. I have also built provisioning, testing, and deployment pipelines that reduce manual effort and improve reliability across development, QA, staging, and production. I value practical engineering, clear operational visibility, and systems that are easy for teams to adopt and maintain. I have worked closely with developers, architects, and operations teams to improve uptime, performance, and delivery speed. I am open to opportunities where I can contribute deep Linux infrastructure expertise, cloud and storage architecture, and automation leadership to complex production environments. ## Skills ### [Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql.md)[Kubernetes](https://jobicy.com/talent/kubernetes.md)[Linux](https://jobicy.com/talent/linux.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent/terraform.md)[PHP](https://jobicy.com/talent/php.md)[Ansible](https://jobicy.com/talent/ansible.md)[Redis](https://jobicy.com/talent/redis.md)[Grafana](https://jobicy.com/talent/grafana.md)[BASH](https://jobicy.com/talent/bash.md)[Prometheus](https://jobicy.com/talent/prometheus.md)[Observability](https://jobicy.com/talent/observability.md)[Virtualization](https://jobicy.com/talent/virtualization.md)[DNS](https://jobicy.com/talent/dns.md)[Cloud Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/cloud-architecture.md)[Identity And Access Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/identity-and-access-management.md)[Site Reliability Engineering](https://jobicy.com/talent/site-reliability-engineering.md)[System Administration](https://jobicy.com/talent/system-administration.md)[SRE](https://jobicy.com/talent/sre.md)[GitOps](https://jobicy.com/talent/gitops.md)[Nginx](https://jobicy.com/talent/nginx.md)[OpenStack](https://jobicy.com/talent/openstack.md)[Caching](https://jobicy.com/talent/caching.md)[Apache](https://jobicy.com/talent/apache.md)[ELK](https://jobicy.com/talent/elk.md)[KVM](https://jobicy.com/talent/kvm.md)[Load Balancing](https://jobicy.com/talent/load-balancing.md)[Ceph](https://jobicy.com/talent/ceph.md)[InfluxDB](https://jobicy.com/talent/influxdb.md)[Docker Swarm](https://jobicy.com/talent/docker-swarm.md)[Salt](https://jobicy.com/talent/salt.md)[VMware ESXi](https://jobicy.com/talent/vmware-esxi.md)[NFS](https://jobicy.com/talent/nfs.md)[Vagrant](https://jobicy.com/talent/vagrant.md)[CPanel](https://jobicy.com/talent/cpanel.md)[MAAS](https://jobicy.com/talent/maas.md)[Firewall Administration](https://jobicy.com/talent/firewall-administration.md)[Icinga](https://jobicy.com/talent/icinga.md)[VictoriaMetrics](https://jobicy.com/talent/victoriametrics.md)[CouchDB](https://jobicy.com/talent/couchdb.md)[OpenLDAP](https://jobicy.com/talent/openldap.md)[Telegraf](https://jobicy.com/talent/telegraf.md)[Storage Engineering](https://jobicy.com/talent/storage-engineering.md)[NetApp](https://jobicy.com/talent/netapp.md) ##
