Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer at Ixor
I'm a Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer at Ixor with a strong background in IoT, networking, and systems automation. I’ve worked on projects using AWS CDK, Docker, Ansible, and Ubiquiti hardware, and I’m passionate about building reliable infrastructure that scales across hybrid cloud environments. Whether it's deploying secure VPNs, managing server fleets, or optimizing Raspberry Pi setups for clients, I’m all about dependable systems.
Right now, I’m focused on managing hybrid cloud infrastructure at Ixor, using AWS ECS Anywhere to deploy Docker containers across remote environments. I also maintain internal network setups using Ubiquiti gear and support multiple client infrastructures through Ansible automation and server configuration — helping teams move faster and stay secure.
Set up automated Raspberry Pi images with Raspbian, built and maintained customer-facing IoT solutions using Iono relay boards and Linux services.
Developed a hybrid infrastructure to deploy and update Docker containers across internal and external servers using ECS Anywhere and Ansible automation.
Configured and maintained Ubiquiti setups, PriTunl VPN servers, and AWS accounts. Built infrastructure libraries to streamline AWS CDK use.
