Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Dwyer is a Senior Cloud Specialist based in Frankfurt with a decade of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and maintaining Linux- and VMware-centric data center and cloud infrastructure. He has a proven track record reducing deployment times and operational friction—most notably cutting a customer-facing app’s deploy from 15 to 6 minutes by adopting RancherOS and automating workflows with Ansible. Comfortable across GCP, Azure, Docker, Rancher, Bitwarden, and large-scale VMware vSphere/Horizon environments, he blends systems administration rigor with practical automation and scripting (PowerCLI, Ansible) to support enterprise and public-sector projects. He also brings an uncommon background in archaeology and technical documentation, which informs his methodical approach to database design, user training, and stakeholder communication.
