About

I’m a man who loves Jesus, values honesty, and cares deeply about helping others. I’ve thought a lot about the kind of person that I am and look for roles where I can live out my core principles. I am authorized to work in Germany with no visa sponsorship required. I currently work in English and am actively learning German, and I’m comfortable joining English-first teams that support language development over time. I’ve worked extensively with AWS, Python, GitHub Actions, Docker, Linux, System Reliability, Automation. I enjoy structured environments, clear ownership, and work that improves systems for real users. I’m particularly interested in DevOps, Platform, Cloud, and Systems Engineering roles.
