Passionate about physics, mathematics, and the world of computers, I’m an experienced UNIX System Engineer focused on SRE and optimizing infrastructure. With 20+ years of experience since 2003, I excel in supporting diverse UNIX environments, including Solaris, Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat/CentOS, and FreeBSD.

Beyond system engineering, I’ve spent 6+ years as a skilled Database Administrator and Developer. Proficient in virtualization and containerization, I work with QEMU/KVM, VMware ESXi, LXC, Docker, FreeBSD jails, and Solaris zones. Kubernetes is my go-to platform for seamless application deployment and management.

Networking is another strength, encompassing routing, switching, WAN technologies, VPNs, and IPv4/v6 routing protocols. Cisco routers and switches configuration is second nature to me, ensuring robust network infrastructures.

Fluent in scripting languages like Perl, Bash, and Python, I’m well-versed in Rust, Clojure, and Go. I also have experience with Scala, Java, SQL, and PL/SQL for efficient database management.

Monitoring and CI/CD are of great interest to me. I utilize Elastic Stack, Prometheus, Zabbix, Nagios, and GitLab, TeamCity, QuickBuild, Jenkins for comprehensive monitoring and streamlined processes. My love for automation drives me to follow the DRY and KISS principles, optimizing workflows.

Effective collaboration and communication are essential in my work. I engage seamlessly with engineers, cross-functional teams, and vendors, ensuring smooth operations and collective success. Highly self-motivated and responsible, I’m always eager to expand my skills and knowledge.

Currently residing in Austria, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed Silicon Valley companies while primarily operating in a remote capacity.
