Senior Infrastructure Engineer — Wintel & Linux Ops | Azure | Ansible | AI-Assisted Operations

Senior systems engineer with 26 years in enterprise IT operations, including 12 years in the Mercedes-Benz/Daimler ecosystem — currently Wintel & Linux Operations Team Lead on Daimler accounts. I design, automate and operate Windows/Linux server estates at enterprise scale: Active Directory, SCCM, Citrix, SUSE Linux for SAP/HANA, and Azure cloud engineering. Automation is my core discipline — Ansible/AWX, PowerShell and Python pipelines for image deployment, patching and vulnerability remediation across hundreds of servers. I also build AI-assisted monitoring platforms (Zabbix + n8n + LLM-based runbook automation with human-in-the-loop approvals). I work worldwide as a remote B2B contractor, invoicing in EUR through my Estonian company; work authorization held in Türkiye. Fluent English; German enterprise process culture (ITIL, Daimler standards).
