I am a systems and network administrator with more than 28 years of experience designing, operating, securing, and modernizing complex IT infrastructures. My background spans service providers, hosting platforms, cloud environments, financial systems, and enterprise networks.
I specialize in FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, network routing, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, OSPF, security, automation, storage, virtualization, and monitoring. I have extensive hands-on experience with Cisco, Juniper, MikroTik, Ubiquiti, F5, NetApp, ZFS, VMware, and open-source infrastructure tools.
I have led technical teams and architecture initiatives as a CTO, manager, engineer, consultant, and founder. I enjoy redesigning networks, improving resilience, automating operations, reducing operational costs, and building reliable hosting and cloud platforms.
I am an active FreeBSD contributor and have been a FreeBSD ports committer since November 2024. I also contribute upstream patches and ports, maintain FreeBSD-based systems, and work with Poudriere, jails, VNET, and ZFS.
