Professional Summary

I'm an experienced infrastructure engineer and Linux expert with over two decades of documented experience with systems, data center and edge networking, configuration management, platform engineering and have led multiple teams. I am an advocate for "automate everything" and simplify error prone processes (i.e KISS principle). I always strive to reduce complexity, and often cost, as well as minimizing the amount of active alerts and errors in any given platform, the signal to noise ratio is one of my most important metrics.

I'm open to interesting remote or hybrid opportunities as well as contract and consulting work in or around Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, especially within the IaaS, PaaS, Startups, AI, Security, Web3/DeFi, FinTech, DevOps, SRE or platform engineering.
