/ About

Background, interests, and how I work

I'm Specialized in

01. About me

An experienced and committed IT professional specialized in designing architecture and cloud solutions. Excellent problem solving and communication skills. Accustomed in learning new topics and self-learning. I am working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (or derivates) since more than 20 years and most recently I am focusing on OpenShift/Kubernetes and Ansible Automation. Looking forward with curiosity and enthusiasm to the future of IT.

02. Interests and Hobbies

As a fantasy nerd I love reading books and playing boardgames and, if I don't, I usually spend my time in the garden or learning new stuff.

03. Framework Preferences

When it is not in Git, it does not exist!

Any cluster I install is configured using GitOps approach based on Argo CD. To make my life easier I am using my repositories Cluster Bootstrap and Helm. This, and the Open Practice Libraries, are the main tools I am typically using during engagements.
