About Me
My story

With over 20 years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, and Site Reliability Engineering, I help organizations design and build robust, scalable systems that drive business growth. My expertise spans cloud platforms and on-premises environments, containerization, automation, and modern deployment strategies, supported by a deep knowledge of diverse platforms and operating systems.

Holding a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering (2007), my career has been shaped by a wide range of roles, including Software Engineer, Hardware Engineer, and Backend Engineer, before strategically transitioning to DevOps in 2018. This journey has equipped me with a broad and versatile technical foundation, covering multiple programming languages, frameworks, and tools, and has honed my ability to adapt quickly in fast-changing environments.

An enthusiastic AI and cryptocurrency researcher, I remain deeply engaged with emerging technologies and the challenges they bring. In 2022, I relocated to the United Arab Emirates, contributing my extensive international experience to a dynamic and rapidly evolving tech ecosystem.

My professional approach blends technical excellence, interdisciplinary expertise, and a passion for innovation. I am committed to continuous learning, fostering collaboration, and delivering forward-thinking solutions in the ever-changing landscape of digital technology.
