I’m an ex-seafarer turned systems engineer, currently navigating the ever-evolving world of enterprise infrastructure – with a growing focus on VMware technologies, data center automation, disaster recovery, and resilient architectures built for long-term stability and scale.
After several years at sea, I made a sharp turn into tech – driven by a desire to understand how complex systems are built, scaled, and kept resilient. That curiosity still defines how I work today: hands-on, methodical, and always learning.
Today my professional work centers on VMware technologies, with a strong emphasis on the private cloud model and VMware Cloud Foundation. Beyond daily projects, I continue to maintain knowledge in adjacent ecosystems like NetApp storage and Veeam backup — areas I’ve worked with in the past and still follow closely.
This blog is my public notepad – a place to share insights, document technical deep-dives, and connect with others who care about clean architecture, scalable infrastructure, and getting the details right.
If you’re navigating similar waters – whether you’re an engineer, architect, or just curious about virtualization – I hope you’ll find something useful here.
