DevOps engineer · cloud architect · AI automation engineer
I have spent 25+ years in high-tech, across South Africa, Spain, and Israel. My path has moved from hands-on web development and team leadership into DevOps, platform work, cloud architecture, and AI automation. I care about automation, reliability, security, performance, and cost - and about the people who use the systems we build. I speak English and Hebrew fluently, and Spanish at a working level. I am open to DevOps, platform engineer, solution architect, or AI automation engineer roles, including relocation.

In a consulting-style setting, I built and maintained infrastructure for several clients - some fully managed, some partial. I used Terraform and the AWS console, wrote Python and Bash automation, and stayed close to troubleshooting, monitoring, and compliance audits. Every week looked different; the common thread was making things repeatable and observable.
I led a team of six to eight backend engineers building automated vulnerability scans across on-prem (Windows, Linux, Mac) and private cloud, including Kubernetes. We also extended the scanning stack itself. It was a mix of technical depth and people: priorities, design, and shipping together.
I grew from leading one team of four to two teams totaling eleven full-stack developers. We shipped features and cloud-based services for the company's sites. I owned architecture reviews, design, and technology choices beyond my immediate team when it helped the wider org move faster.
I led four developers across legacy and new customer-facing apps. The work spanned analysis, delivery, and operations - whatever kept internal and public users moving.
Senior web developer at 1Web Systems (insurance) and Double-Eye (agencies and CMS). I spent years in PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript stacks on Linux - foundations that still inform how I think about platforms and delivery today.
A few topics I have written about:

Selected credentials and courses:
Earlier studies include a programming diploma, partial BSc Software Engineering (UNISA), B.Com Law (first year), and matric in South Africa - plus many stack-specific courses over the years.
