Who I am

I keep infrastructure standing, and I make it secure.

I am a systems engineer with a strong focus on security: I design, automate and monitor infrastructure, on-prem and cloud, obsessed with making it predictable before making it fast.

Travelling and learning new things are the part of me that always ends up in the projects I write in my own time.

  • Linux
  • Proxmox / VMware
  • Ansible
  • Networking
  • Firewalling
  • SIEM & logging
  • Docker
  • Python / Bash

Outside work

  • Calisthenics

    Sport has always been part of me. For the last three months that has meant calisthenics, where progress is counted rather than argued about.

  • Mountains

    I am only getting there now, with my first hikes. I go for the quiet, not for the summit.

  • Snowboard

    And in winter, the snowboard.
