๐Ÿ” About me Senior DevOps / DevSecOps / FDE / MLOps, 7+ years (since 2019) on AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner. Started as DevOps; across departments, I learned programming and MLOps, saw what teams lacked, and grew into FDE โ€” I work with everyone, deeply learn how they operate, and use AI plus platform automation to make that work faster and cleaner until production is stable. Confirmable in conversation and on LinkedIn (recommendations from people I worked with).
