Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer · Web development, platforms & automation

Web & cloud.
Built to keep running.

I build websites and web applications, and work across the cloud services, infrastructure and integrations behind them. From the interface to the operating environment, I keep the whole system in view.

01 / About

Development with infrastructure roots

Applications, and what they run on.

I build websites and full-stack applications, and I understand the infrastructure they run on, because that is where my career started.

My background began in technical support and systems administration, then grew through web development, hosting and founding the agency Obsite. After my Cloud Service Engineer role at DataBalk, I now work freelance, including ongoing DevOps work for Visnovo.

That mix connects the experience in the browser with the application and its operating environment, while keeping the customer in view.

Outside work, I experiment with home servers and smart solutions. I also founded and managed The Cantina Network, an online community of more than 400 members.

Build across the stack

Connect web interfaces, application logic and integrations with the hosting, identity and infrastructure they depend on.

Change with control

Use clear scope, least privilege, preflight checks and read-back verification so a technical change is also a dependable outcome.

Keep people aligned

Turn technical evidence into useful customer updates, product-team handovers and a practical next move.
