Infrastructure & Systems Engineer | Linux | Automation | Virtualization
I’m a systems-focused infrastructure engineer with a strong background in Linux, virtualization, storage, and automation in large production environments. Most of my work centers on building reliable platforms, reducing operational toil, and solving complex infrastructure problems through automation and solid system design.
I work primarily in hybrid environments spanning on-prem data centers and cloud integrations, with hands-on experience across Linux fleets, VMware, NetApp storage, and infrastructure automation using tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Terraform.
Outside of work, I enjoy building tools, running infrastructure for creative projects, and experimenting with homelab and hardware setups.
- Systems & Automation – Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu), Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, Bash, Python
- Virtualization & Storage – VMware, NetApp, Proxmox, KVM fundamentals
- Hybrid Infrastructure – On-prem environments with cloud integrations (AWS, Azure)
- Reliability & Operations – Incident response, RCA, monitoring, lifecycle automation
- Tooling – Internal CLIs and utilities to improve operator workflows
- 🕓 waitup – CLI tool to detect service availability after system reboots
- 🖥️ Homelab – Multi-node Proxmox cluster and Raspberry Pi fleet used for automation, testing, and experimentation
