02 / Background
About me
I'm a Cloud Automation & Defence engineer. I like building secure, automated cloud infrastructure, and the point where infrastructure, code and automation come together.
During my internship at Cegeka I designed multi-cloud architectures across Azure, OCI and Scaleway, deployed FortiGate firewalls, and built a Python firewall policy analyzer with AI recommendations.
My foundation goes back to a high school program in Accountancy & IT, where I first got hands-on with programming (C#, MySQL, web development) and business IT systems. That mix of technical and analytical thinking is something I bring to every project.
I work well on my own and in a team, I adapt quickly, and I'm always keen to pick up new technologies and take on new challenges.
