PERSONAL PROFILE
I'm a Digital Firefighter—someone who steps in when systems break, risks rise, and urgent action is needed. Just as I once delivered aid on the ground, I now bring that same calm and urgency to digital crises, restoring stability and protecting infrastructure.
As a DevOps Engineer, I'm driven by a mission to use technology to safeguard and improve lives. From early-warning systems in conflict zones to scaling secure Web3 infrastructure, I combine humanitarian tech work with deep expertise in Kubernetes, automation, and cloud-native systems.
