/ Core_Philosophy
Passionate SysOps Engineer specialized in the Linux ecosystem. I build infrastructure that scales with ease and runs without friction.
I leverage Ansible and Terraform to treat infrastructure as code—ensuring perfect server configurations, automated package management, and reproducible environments across Proxmox and Docker.
"While I am an expert in Bash and Python for custom logic, my heart is in total **Automation**. I use IaC to make complex systems predictable and life fundamentally much more easier for everyone."
