I build reliable cloud
platforms for fast‑moving teams.
I design, build, and operate cloud platforms — from Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS) to CI/CD, IaC, FinOps, RAG, vector databases, and AI knowledge systems. I help teams ship faster with confidence.
What I Do
Engineering Services
End-to-end cloud infrastructure expertise, from architecture to automation.
Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering
I design cloud environments that teams can actually operate. Landing zones with guardrails, IaC-managed networking, and internal developer platforms that reduce cognitive load.
"Infrastructure should be simple, auditable, and automated."
Kubernetes, Containers & Automation
From EKS clusters on AWS to bare-metal Kubernetes (kubeadm), I handle the full lifecycle: provisioning, CI/CD, service mesh, and day-2 operations.
"Complexity belongs in automation, not in runbooks."
FinOps, AI & Data Pipelines
I help teams identify cloud waste, build AI-powered knowledge platforms with private deployment, and design CDC pipelines that move data reliably from databases to analytics.
"Every system should earn its cost."
My Work
Projects & Case Studies
Real infrastructure challenges, solved with engineering discipline.
EKS Triage Copilot
Problem
Kubernetes incidents require deep expertise to diagnose. On-call engineers waste time sifting through logs and metrics before identifying root cause.
Approach
Built 3 serverless API endpoints backed by AWS Bedrock, Lambda, and API Gateway. Terraform-managed infrastructure with zero operational overhead.
Outcome
Production-ready triage copilot running on AWS at under $1/month. Live demo available at copilot.climacs.net.
OpenRAG Knowledge Platform
Problem
Organizations need AI-powered document search without sending sensitive data to third-party services.
Approach
Deployed OpenRAG with Milvus vector search, cross-encoder reranking, and LLM answers with source citations. Runs on a dedicated Proxmox VM with daily backups.
Outcome
Private knowledge platform processing 19 file formats with cited AI answers. Zero data leaves the infrastructure.
Homelab Architecture
Problem
Need a production-like environment for experimentation, CI/CD, and hosting — without cloud costs.
Approach
Built a multi-node Proxmox cluster with kubeadm Kubernetes, private Gitea + container registry, PostgreSQL, NFS storage, and full CI/CD pipelines.
Outcome
Complete self-hosted platform running all portfolio projects. Every project on this site is deployed from this infrastructure.
FrostStream CDC Pipeline
Problem
Need to capture every database change in real time for analytics and audit trails without impacting the source system.
Approach
Debezium captures WAL events, Kafka KRaft brokers them, Confluent S3 Sink writes time-partitioned JSON to MinIO. All on a single Proxmox VM.
Outcome
End-to-end CDC pipeline with verified INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and recovery operations. Source row count matches sink file count.

About Me
Built on Real-World
Experience
I'm a hands-on cloud and infrastructure engineer with 10+ years of experience. I've designed and operated production Docker, EKS, and AKS environments, built CI/CD pipelines processing production deployments, and migrated enterprise workloads across cloud providers.
I believe in infrastructure that's simple, auditable, and automated. Every solution I deliver is production-ready, documented, and designed for the team that will operate it. For larger engagements, I bring in trusted specialists to scale delivery.
How I Work
Embedded with your team
I integrate directly with your engineering team — not as an outsider delivering a report, but as a contributor shipping alongside your people.
Pairs with developers & SREs
Infrastructure decisions are better when the people operating them are part of the conversation. I pair, review, and teach.
Simple, auditable, automated
Every system I build can be understood by the next engineer. No hidden complexity, no heroic runbooks.
