I build and operate production infrastructure where Kubernetes, cloud, and automation meet — deploying containerized platforms, wiring up CI/CD, and keeping it observable and secure. Top-Rated with a 100% Job Success Score. I run live workloads today (Kubernetes with Rook/Ceph storage, Docker, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, WireGuard-secured access), so I deploy what I actually operate — not theory.
Most infrastructure jobs aren't a single tool; they're a stack. A Kubernetes deployment that needs AWS underneath it. A container platform that needs CI/CD, monitoring, and a hardened network perimeter around it. A migration where the firewall and VPN have to hold through the cutover. That convergence is what I do — and the network-security depth beneath it (firewalls, VPNs, segmentation) is the difference between a platform that merely runs and one that stays secure and reliable under real traffic.

🎯 Why work with me
Top-Rated, 100% Job Success, with a deep Cisco networking and security background — CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE (Routing & Switching) certified, with my deepest hands-on focus now on infrastructure, cloud, and automation built on that foundation. I take infrastructure from assessment through deployment to documentation, and stay on for ongoing operation when you need it. I work assessment-first, explain trade-offs plainly, and hand over systems your team can maintain.
