About Me

Engineering Infrastructure
for the AI Era

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Vienna, Austria — combining 5+ years of production infrastructure work with an ongoing MS in Artificial Intelligence at JKU Linz. This intersection of deep DevOps practice and AI research is rare, and it's how I build infrastructure that's not just automated, but intelligent.

At Cielo Wigle Inc. (US), I engineered Kubernetes & Docker platforms on AWS EKS that cut deployment cycles by 60% and held 99.9% uptime. I built full observability stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch, and used Python/ML tooling to reduce cloud spend by 20%.

I hold 6 certifications spanning both clouds, Kubernetes administration, IaC, monitoring, and CI/CD — a combination achieved by fewer than 1% of DevOps engineers globally.

How I Stand Out vs. the Market

Most DevOps engineers specialise in one cloud. Few hold multiple certifications. Almost none have a graduate AI background. This is what separates top 1% candidates.

Typical DevOps Engineer
1–2 cloud certifications
Single cloud provider
Basic monitoring (logs only)
No AI / ML background
Minimal community presence
Terraform or CloudFormation
Local job market only
