About
Infrastructure starts with ownership
I am a senior cloud infrastructure, DevOps and security consultant based in Poland. My background combines hands-on engineering in Azure, Kubernetes, Microsoft 365, identity, networking, virtualization, hosting and mail infrastructure with earlier CTO/CIO responsibility for large distributed IT organizations. I work best where infrastructure is business-critical and needs clear ownership, documentation, monitoring and long-term operational discipline.
