About Me

With over 25 years of experience in IT support, I’ve developed a strong foundation in infrastructure, system reliability, and troubleshooting. To align with the industry’s evolution, I recently completed a DevOps Practitioner Bootcamp, gaining hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, AWS, and monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana. I'm now seeking a Cloud or DevOps position where I can combine my deep IT background with modern, automation-focused practices to help teams deliver more efficiently and reliably.
