DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer · Digital Nomad 🌍

I'm a DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineer with deep hands-on experience in Kubernetes — from zero to production, and from production to hardened. I've worked across the full infrastructure stack: bare metal, cloud migrations, security hardening, and building AI/GPU platforms from scratch.

The name "infranomad" reflects how I work. I move between stacks, clouds, and problem domains — always anchored in engineering fundamentals, never locked into one tool or vendor. My goal is always the same: infrastructure that works reliably, scales cleanly, and doesn't become someone else's incident at 3 AM.

Most recently, I designed and executed a complete cloud migration for a high-scale video platform — moving from on-prem to Kubernetes with zero downtime, cutting infrastructure costs by ~40%, and building the full video processing pipeline as cloud-native workloads.

I consult with startups and tech teams who need senior-level infrastructure expertise without the cost of a full-time hire. Whether it's a K8s security audit, a migration roadmap, or building an AI inference platform from scratch — I get it done.

The "nomad" in infranomad is literal. I work remotely while traveling the world — timezone-flexible, async-first, and fully distributed. My clients are spread across continents and so am I. Infrastructure doesn't care where you are, and neither do I.

Digital Nomad · Roaming the World

I work from wherever I am — laptops, coffee shops, co-working spaces, and mountain towns across the globe. Remote-first, async-friendly, and always reachable. If you're building distributed teams or infrastructure, you're already speaking my language.

What it's like working with me

I work directly — no account managers, no junior engineers doing the real work. You get a senior engineer who understands your business constraints, communicates clearly, and delivers production-quality work. I'll tell you what I think is the right call even if it's not what you expected to hear. And if your problem is outside my expertise, I'll tell you that too rather than waste your time.
