The Founder & Technical Mind Behind HarborLayer
My career didn’t start in the cloud. It started with cables, routers, computer parts, and strict German automotive protocols. That foundation in physical hardware makes me a better troubleshooter all-around.
Technical Expertise
Click a card to see the stack and the experience I bring in each area.
Linux & Automation
From bare metal to containers: Linux systems that are hardened, reproducible, and automated (CI/CD, Python tooling, Ansible).
Enterprise Infrastructure
Industrial-grade reliability: segmented networks, mixed Windows/Linux fleets, and the “boring” work that keeps AD, VPNs and links stable.
Cloud & Data Systems
Hybrid setups where on-prem and cloud behave like one environment: connectivity, storage, edge (Cloudflare), and data/ML workflows.
