Reliable, observable, and automated infrastructure
I build CI/CD pipelines, automate infrastructure, and bring visibility to systems through observability, so teams can deliver with confidence.
Production experience with critical systems
Selected projects
Weather Station Platform
Weather monitoring platform with ESP32 boards, where I was responsible for the infrastructure: provisioning on Microsoft Azure with Terraform, configuration with Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.

I'm Thomas, a DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) focused on infrastructure, reliability, and automation. I'm experienced with CI/CD pipelines on GitLab, Docker, and configuration management with Ansible in Linux environments, following practices like GitFlow, along with observability and monitoring of distributed systems using Grafana and Prometheus. I also have a background in troubleshooting and incident resolution across critical systems.
In parallel to my professional work, I'm passionate about creating personal projects that let me dive into widely adopted tools in the DevOps and SRE space, including Kubernetes for container orchestration, Terraform for infrastructure provisioning in cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Proxmox for virtualization in my homelab.
I'm a collaborative team player focused on consistency, efficiency, and clear processes, with a proactive approach to problem-solving. I'm looking for opportunities to grow professionally, learn from more experienced professionals, and contribute to a team working toward more reliable systems.
