About

Principal DevOps Engineer with a strong software engineering focus, mainly working in C#. I care deeply about writing clean, maintainable, and performant code, and I try to keep things simple without cutting corners. I’m involved in cross-team architecture discussions and enjoy supporting others in making thoughtful technical decisions. Outside of work, I’m passionate about home cinema, A/V tech, 3D printing, photography, and pretty much anything tech-related.

      As a Principal DevOps Engineer with a strong software engineering focus, I specialize in back-end development, primarily in C# with a deep appreciation for clean, maintainable, and performant code. I take pride in designing solutions that are easy to understand, avoiding unnecessary complexity without sacrificing quality or scalability. Over the years, I’ve grown from developer to principal, gaining hands-on experience in both feature development and architecture. I'm actively involved in cross-team architectural discussions, lead major initiatives like our User Defined APIs, and am considered the driving force behind DataMiner Object Models (DOM). I also play a key role in maintaining core features such as Automation. Beyond code, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge. Through our Empower program, I’ve given sessions both locally and abroad, recently stepping into a leadership role to manage and shape the program’s technical sessions.
