A pragmatic leader and product-minded engineer, he has acted as Product Owner and Site Manager, coordinating multinational teams, roadmaps, and mission-critical delivery across cloud and on-prem environments. His background spans low-level embedded (Xilinx, C/C++) to cloud-native orchestration (Kubernetes, Ansible) and a long history of improving operational practices from SRE to deployment automation. Notably, he has repeatedly introduced DevSecOps thinking into conservative defence programs, bridging strict compliance constraints with modern agile delivery.
