I'm a Platform Engineer with high experience in Software Engineer and I'm passionate about cloud infrastructure, Linux, distributed systems, and open source technologies. Over the last 4+ years, I've been building and operating large-scale Kubernetes and OpenStack environments, focusing on automation, networking, virtualization, and platform reliability. I'm an active contributor to the OpenInfra StarlingX ecosystem, with more than 30 merged upstream contributions across multiple repositories focused on containerized OpenStack solutions and platform reliability.

My career has been centered around solving complex infrastructure challenges in cloud-native and edge computing environments. I've worked on Kubernetes deployments running on bare-metal infrastructures, contributed to the OpenInfra StarlingX ecosystem, and collaborated with globally distributed teams to deliver reliable solutions for enterprise and telecom platforms.

My technical expertise includes Kubernetes, OpenStack, Linux, cloud networking, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, automation, and observability. I regularly work with Python, Bash, Helm, Ansible, Docker, and Git-based workflows to build scalable and maintainable infrastructure solutions.

What motivates me most is understanding how systems work under the hood, solving difficult technical problems, and contributing to technologies that enable reliable software at scale. I'm always interested in connecting with engineers and organizations working on cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, open source, and platform technologies.
