Open to Consulting


Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Azure, M365, and security — with a hands-on background in on-prem infrastructure, virtualization, and self-hosted services.

Turning complexity
into clarity

I build and manage infrastructure across the full stack — from enterprise Microsoft 365 and Azure environments down to bare-metal servers, virtualization clusters, and self-hosted services running in my own homelab.

My homelab runs Proxmox, OPNsense, WireGuard, Nginx Proxy Manager, Zabbix, Wazuh, Portainer, and more — giving me hands-on depth that goes well beyond what certifications cover.
