An operator who also builds.

Day to day I operate mission-critical systems in financial services, where uptime, traceability and compliance are non-negotiable. That has shaped how I work: security and resilience aren't bolted on at the end — they're the foundation.

In my own time I built a sovereign cloud from bare metal: Kubernetes, GPU, replicated storage, full Ansible automation and private AI. Not on fancy hardware — that's the point. It proves how far disciplined engineering goes on modest, self-owned kit: enterprise practices without the enterprise budget, and without giving up the data.

That combination is what I offer: deep operational experience from finance, met with modern DevOps and AI. I'm open to interesting work.
