Senior System Engineer

I work in infrastructure, networking and security, focusing on understanding complex systems, isolating problems at their root and solving them in a sustainable way.

Focus Areas

• Infrastructure (virtualization, storage, Ceph)
• Networking (BGP, VRF, routing)
• Security (firewalling, analysis, hardening)

How I Work

I approach systems analytically.
Instead of treating them as untouchable black boxes, I break them mentally down into smaller components, understand how they interact, and rebuild them into stable and predictable environments. In short: I love black boxes … as long as I’m allowed to take them apart.

I don’t follow tutorials blindly.
If I use a command, I understand what it does and adapt it to the problem I am solving.

Selected Experience

• Designed and implemented segmented network architectures using VRFs and centralized firewall clusters
• Built and operated infrastructure environments including virtualization, storage and high-availability systems
• Identified and exploited critical security flaws in customer software
• Worked closely with development teams to design and deploy production-ready environments
