Cloud Consultant orchestrating AWS, GCP and Azure at scale. I design highly available architectures, automate the boring stuff with Terraform / Ansible / Chef, and keep +51 Kubernetes clusters running for clients across multiple continents. Currently shipping internal automation platforms at DXC Technology.
