Cloud/DevSecOps/Platform Consultant

I focus on simplifying life of people I work with. I believe people should be working with abstract concepts, rather than being button pushers. Machines can press buttons better than humans. Helping companies transition to modern IT workflows is my passion, and fixing the unfixable (and legacy) is what pushes me forward. I can explain technical problems in language understandable by non-technical decision makers.
