IT Support | Web Designer | App Builder | Psychologist, Coffee Lover | Melomaniac
I'm a DevOps Engineer and long-time IT professional with over 20 years of combined experience across infrastructure, automation, development, and system design. Alongside my engineering work, I operate as a freelancer specializing in web and application development—building reliable, scalable solutions with a strong focus on efficiency and maintainability.
My mantra is simple: learn constantly and explore relentlessly.
My work lives primarily in the open-source ecosystem. I build and operate Linux-based systems using Docker and Kubernetes, develop with tools like Neovim, and rely on automation, SSH, and clean system architecture to keep environments stable and predictable. My technical stack spans Python, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, and I've worked extensively with GPS and RTK technologies—configuring devices, deploying infrastructure, and designing servers to re-transmit data seamlessly to platforms such as Wialon.
I'm a hands-on builder and systems thinker by nature. I thrive in high-pressure situations and have spent years putting out fires—whether restoring a critical domain server after a full outage or redesigning manufacturing workflows to improve the production of GPS devices. My mindset is simple: when things break, there's no time for guilt—only solutions, decisions, and execution.
Outside of tech, I push my limits physically and mentally. I train for marathons and triathlons, and I've completed the Mayan Journey multiple times—a demanding rowing challenge across open water that mirrors my professional philosophy: endurance, focus, and adaptability under pressure. When I unplug, I enjoy games like Helldivers and Diablo IV, drawn to their blend of strategy, coordination, and problem-solving.
If you're looking for someone who combines deep technical experience, creative problem-solving, and a calm, solution-driven approach—even when things go sideways—I'd be happy to collaborate.
