Platform Architect & Automation Consultant Architectural ownership backed by 15+ years of hands-on experience delivering secure, production-ready platforms for complex and regulated environments. Translates infrastructure, security, and operational requirements into maintainable solutions—with automation, repeatability, and reliable Day-2 operations built in from the start. Red Hat Certified Architect with broad expertise across Linux and container infrastructure, automation, virtualization, cloud integration, networking, identity, security, observability, and lifecycle management. Works with technology partners such as Red Hat, JFrog, and HashiCorp while remaining vendor-neutral, choosing supported solutions or open-source and community alternatives according to each customer's support model, risk, and operating requirements. Automation is the central design principle across deployment, configuration, security controls, lifecycle processes, and operations. Tracks emerging technologies, open-source developments, and AI-assisted engineering, adopting them where they improve delivery without compromising security, auditability, maintainability, or operational resilience. Combines deep technical execution with customer-facing architecture leadership: leads workshops, defends design decisions, translates business, regulatory, and security requirements into actionable architectures, and guides cross-functional teams through implementation and handover. Aligns solutions with BSI IT-Grundschutz, CIS Benchmarks, and customer-specific governance requirements. |

• Designed and operated Red Hat OpenShift 4 platforms on VMware vSphere for regulated environments. Applied Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) governance and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) vulnerability, compliance, and runtime controls aligned with BSI IT-Grundschutz. • Implemented multiple Red Hat OpenShift 4 platforms on bare-metal infrastructure. Automated installation with Ansible and Python, integrated Cumulus Linux networking, established Argo CD GitOps workflows, and deployed Prometheus and Grafana monitoring. • Built containerized Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform deployments for disconnected RHEL 9 and 10 environments. Implemented Automation Controller, Private Automation Hub, zone-based Execution Nodes, and offline repositories; validated services before handover. • Converted CIS Level 2 and BSI IT-Grundschutz requirements into repeatable RHEL hardening. Automated assessment, categorization, remediation, and tracking with Python and Ansible; validated controls with OpenSCAP and reference hosts, then staged rollout by system role, criticality, and risk. • Extended Red Hat Satellite 6 across data centers, AWS, and restricted networks. Implemented Capsule-based content distribution, registration, provisioning, and patching; validated connectivity and package flows, and documented handover. • Integrated platform delivery services into auditable workflows. Connected GitLab and GitLab Runner with Argo CD for version-controlled deployment, Red Hat Build of Keycloak for OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect authentication, HashiCorp Vault for secrets, and JFrog Artifactory with JFrog Xray for artifact distribution and vulnerability scanning. • Turned project implementations into reusable architecture and operating assets. Produced security and governance concepts, platform blueprints, automation workflows, runbooks, and handover documentation; reused them through ModuLix, AIO, and PGE. |
