Background

I’ve been working for over 8 years in IT infrastructure roles, mainly focused on server management and virtualization. After years as a System Engineer, I’m expanding my scope to DevOps and infrastructure automation. I believe that broader infrastructure control leads to deeper understanding of IT and business processes.
