About Me
Platform Engineer focused on Linux infrastructure automation, security compliance, and platform migration at enterprise scale.
What I Do
I design and operate the automation stack behind managed Linux environments — from image pipelines and provisioning automation to configuration management, patching, observability, and security hardening.
- Platform Engineering — VM lifecycle automation on OpenShift Virtualization with Tekton, Helm, and GitHub Actions
- Infrastructure Automation — GitHub Actions workflows and Ansible driving provisioning, delivery, and day-2 operations
- Configuration Management — Ansible roles covering the full OS lifecycle: base setup, identity integration, monitoring, hardening, log shipping
- Observability — OpenSearch/Logstash logging, monitoring, and alerting for a managed server fleet
- Fleet Operations — patch management and vulnerability handling across hundreds of managed Linux servers
- Security & Compliance — CIS benchmark enforcement, automated compliance reporting, credential rotation with HashiCorp Vault
Technologies I work with: Ansible, OpenShift (incl. Virtualization/KubeVirt), Kubernetes, Helm, Tekton, GitHub Actions, HashiCorp Vault, OpenSearch, Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu/Debian), Python, Bash
