Summary

I am deeply fascinated by technology, especially in the field of cloud infrastructure and DevOps. With more than 7 years of hands-on experience in IT, I am continuously committed to supporting my clients with top-quality solutions.

My approach to cloud-native transformation helps companies make their applications more efficient and scalable. I always use the latest cloud technologies and modern architectures to maximize application performance and availability.

An important part of my professional philosophy is to stay up to date with technology and keep learning. This allows me to always offer my clients the best solutions and meet their needs.

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in international projects where team members from different countries and cultures work together. With my ability to speak multiple languages, I make communication and collaboration easier with teams and clients around the world.

I look forward to bringing my expertise and passion for technology to your company and working together on innovative solutions.

I have strong knowledge of modern technologies that focus on application delivery efficiency and reliable IT operations. A key part of my expertise is containerization, especially using containers like Docker to package and isolate applications with their environments. This technology greatly simplifies deployment, scaling and management of applications and ensures consistency and portability across different environments.

I also have solid experience in orchestrating container applications. I use systems like Kubernetes, OpenShift and Tanzu to automate container deployment, scaling and management. These orchestration tools help me efficiently manage complex application landscapes and ensure optimal resource use.

Another core part of my skill set is the DevOps philosophy and agile development. I integrate development and operations to improve collaboration and communication. Using agile methods like Scrum, I can quickly respond to changes and continuously deliver value. These approaches support fast, iterative and adaptive software development and delivery.

In continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), I have experience setting up and managing pipelines for automated testing and deployment. With tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI and Azure DevOps, I can ensure fast and reliable application updates and minimize the risk of production errors.

My skills also include infrastructure as code (IaC). With tools like Terraform and Ansible, I manage infrastructure as code for quick and error-free provisioning. IaC lets me define the entire infrastructure as versioned and repeatable scripts, which greatly improves reliability and scalability.

To ensure system health and performance monitoring, I rely on monitoring, logging and alerting. I implement solutions like Prometheus, Grafana and the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to monitor application performance and health, collect system logs and respond to issues. These tools allow proactive monitoring and fast problem resolution, boosting application reliability and availability.

In summary, my knowledge and experience in containerization, orchestration, DevOps, CI/CD, IaC, as well as monitoring and logging, form a solid foundation for modern and efficient IT infrastructure. These technologies and methods let me quickly react to market changes, improve software quality and increase end-user satisfaction.
