Systems Architecture & IaC Projects
My past development projects have regularly included responsibilities typically scoped as DevOps engineering or systems architecture. This experience in adjacent roles has allowed me to plan more comprehensive solutions ensuring that both development and operations are efficiently managed and executed. Over the past four years, I have developed a specialization in virtualizing systems, managing services, and automating testing and deployment.
Extensive experience with enterprise hypervisors including Proxmox, VMware vSphere / ESXi, and Win Server Hyper-V
Developed IaC provision/configure/deploy/archive to manage physical and virtualized/containerized systems for web applications, services, home and business automation, services related to IoT
