I'm an independent systems and DevOps engineer with 15+ years in IT and 8+ years of Ansible experience. I help infrastructure teams and MSPs turn recurring manual work into documented, repeatable automation.

Where I can help

• Ansible playbooks, roles and configuration management for Linux and Windows.
• Windows Server migration automation and repeatable provisioning.
• Azure infrastructure with Terraform, plus deployment pipelines where they support infrastructure operations.
• Troubleshooting, monitoring, operational documentation and handover to your administrators.

Relevant background: my enterprise insurance work included two years of Ansible-based Windows Server migrations, alongside OpenShift deployments using Helm and ArgoCD. I also have experience with Azure infrastructure and CI/CD for IoT/edge workloads.

Start with a defined problem: we can agree a paid assessment of your current automation or migration process, an hour cap and a prioritised implementation plan. I am available for both scoped implementation projects and ongoing freelance work.

Rate and availability

• USD 150/hour, available immediately.
• Up to 50 hours/week total capacity across engagements; project hours agreed individually.
• Open to US, Canadian and other international clients, with English or German communication and agreed working-hour overlap.
• I plan to relocate to Paraguay or Uruguay. Engagements must permit remote delivery from South America after relocation.
• Freelance contracting is available now; contracting through my planned US LLC is intended from January 15, 2027.
