I build calm systems and useful little tools. Linux-first on KVM/OLVM/VMware. Ansible, Rundeck, Docker; simple, readable pipelines. Prefer clarity: tidy cutovers, tested rollback, clear docs. Monitoring-agnostic; most hours on Zabbix to Apr '24, happy to adapt. Current focus: internal platform work for product teams (non-MSP). Off-hours: coffee, trails, a bit of tinkering.
