I'm a CKA-certified DevOps engineer with 7+ years of experience in Linux systems, CI/CD automation, and Kubernetes infrastructure. I help teams ship faster by building reliable pipelines, containerizing applications, and setting up production-grade Kubernetes environments.

What I've shipped:
• End-to-end Jenkins CI/CD pipeline — builds Docker images, pushes to GHCR, deploys to Kubernetes via Kustomize, with staging gates and production promotion
• Full k3s Kubernetes platform on Proxmox hosting 10+ production services (Gitea, Nextcloud, Immich, Home Assistant, Coolify)
• Traefik reverse proxy + Cloudflare Tunnel + Tailscale zero-trust remote access • GitLab CI/CD pipelines at SolarEdge (sole maintainer — firmware build, test, release)
• TLS/PKI infrastructure with local CA for wildcard certificates across an entire homelab I hold the CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) from the Linux Foundation and the CCNA for networking.

I'm comfortable going deep on kubeadm, etcd backup/restore, RBAC, Helm, and network policies — not just "I ran kubectl apply."

My background in embedded systems (FreeRTOS, C, DSP) means I bring a rigorous, low-level mindset to infrastructure work — I care about what's actually happening at the OS and network layer, not just whether the dashboard is green.

I'm available for:
• Kubernetes cluster setup, migration, or troubleshooting
• CI/CD pipeline design and implementation (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
• Docker/containerization and self-hosted infrastructure
• Linux server hardening, networking, and automation
