What I do
Six fronts that already turned into shipped work, and what each one solves in your context.
DevOps and orchestration
A pipeline that runs without heroics
Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and high availability. Predictable deploys, with logs and monitoring in place.
IT project management
A project run like a project
Scope, risk, deadlines and stakeholders with method. PMBOK as a base, applied without the paperwork theatre.
Data and analysis
Raw data turning into decisions
Modelling, ETL, advanced SQL and visualisation. Metrics that point a direction instead of decorating a report.
Technical leadership
A team leaving improvisation behind
Leading teams through digital transformation, with process and technical culture without stopping delivery.
Technical communication
Complexity translated for decision makers
Documentation, training and talks. Technical subjects explained for the business side of the table.
Track record
From infrastructure to independent consulting, through product, architecture and technical leadership.
