01 About

IT governance and cloud architecture: infrastructure that stops depending on people and becomes documented, measurable and reproducible. AI-assisted operations, with greater speed and depth of analysis.

In practice

Working with AI

I work with frontier AI systems as co-pilots for architecture analysis, documentation and infrastructure audits.

It isn't automation: it's a different way of operating.

What I specialize in

  • IaC01

    Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, Helm): reproducible environments instead of manual configuration.

  • FinOps02

    FinOps: cloud spend control with reductions of up to 20%.

  • Multicloud03

    Multicloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) designed to scale and cost less.

  • Security04

    Security that is applied, not declared: Zero Trust, cross-cloud federated identity, observability.
