More than fifteen years in infrastructure, SRE and DevOps, more than ten of them on AWS, from Linux hosting to managing the platform, tooling and release engineering teams at a large consultancy while staying hands-on. Since 2022 I run CloudCat Digital, currently owning the AWS and EKS platform behind an AI product end to end: architecture, CI/CD, GPU capacity for ML workloads, security, observability and incident response.
Certified CKA, CKAD and CKS, HashiCorp Terraform and Vault Associate, and Akamai Web Performance Foundations for CDN and edge work.
How I work
- Hands-on. I work in your repos and your Slack, open pull requests, and take the pager for what I build until your team is comfortable with it.
- Written down. Decisions, runbooks and findings end up in your wiki and your repositories, not in my head.
- Boring on purpose. Fewer moving parts, rehearsed upgrades, and alerts that only fire when someone needs to act.
Recent work
- Backend migration to AWS and EKS, with Terraform, GitOps and CI/CD on private self-hosted runners.
- GPU-enabled EKS capacity with scale-from-zero node pools, and self-hosted vLLM for low-latency LLM inference.
- Production EKS upgrades through several Kubernetes versions with no downtime.
- AWS cost audit: savings plans, NAT and egress attribution, and removal of what nobody used.
- The infrastructure side of ISO 27001 with compliance automation such as Vanta or Drata, and the evidence behind each control.
- An LLM agent in production on Kubernetes as a Slack knowledge bot, and coding agents that triage CI and patch vulnerable images under review.
