• 🔭 I’m a Platform Engineer focused on building and managing CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, and scalable infrastructure. Day to day that means everything from writing automation to bench-testing hardware and making sure software gets from dev to production reliably. Currently that includes ROS 2 pipeline infrastructure in the subsea/marine robotics space — Linux packaging with bloom and debhelper, Aptly-managed package repositories with GPG signing and environment promotion, and Fast-DDS discovery server configuration for distributed development teams.

• 🔧 I work across the full stack of infrastructure — containers, virtualisation (ESXi, Proxmox, vSphere), IaC (Ansible, Terraform, Packer), and GitOps — with a strong lean towards automating anything that shouldn’t be done by hand. Prior to my current role I was a Linux Sysadmin, so I’m just as comfortable racking servers and hardening systems as I am writing pipelines.

• 👥 I collaborate closely with software and engineering teams, and have worked across vendors, procurement, and SoC teams to keep projects moving. Happy switching between writing technical docs on Confluence, reviewing pipelines, or configuring switches and firewalls depending on what the day calls for. I also integrate AI tooling (Claude, GitLab Duo, Microsoft Copilot) into engineering workflows — pipeline automation, code review assistance, documentation, changelog generation, and infrastructure work. A force multiplier, not a substitute for understanding what's actually going on.

• 🌍 I've worked my way up through infrastructure roles across high-stakes sectors like defence, energy, transport, and telecoms — picking up everything from large-scale VDI environments to Linux systems engineering along the way. I'm also a fluent Brazilian Portuguese speaker, which has come in handy supporting global and multilingual teams throughout.

• ⚡ Outside of work I run a two-node Proxmox cluster (Samwise + Frodo) with 20+ VMs and LXC containers, ZFS storage, a dedicated Proxmox Backup Server, and a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner that ties it all into real CI/CD pipelines. IaC VMs for Packer, Ansible, and Terraform are spun up on demand from cloud-init templates I build and maintain myself. Ansible is my go-to for automating it all — I've also picked up both the Ansible Essential and Advanced Playbooks certifications to back that up.

• 🧟 For nearly a decade I helped organise World Zombie Day — a global charity event that raised money for food banks through city-wide zombie walks. Coordinating sponsors, volunteers, routes, and day-of logistics across London, UK was genuinely great experience, and a lot of fun.

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 I'm active in the open source community — opening PRs, contributing commits, reviewing code, and raising issues and bug reports across projects I use and care about. Not just a consumer.

• ✍️ I write up what I learn over on OmegaWiki — mostly Linux, Docker, and homelab guides.

Hardware & Other Enterprise Systems Project Management AI Tooling

Project	Description	Stars
public_scripts	A collection of practical scripts covering Proxmox automation, Docker management, server administration, and media processing — built for real use and shared publicly with sensitive values scrubbed
docker-borgmatic(co-maintainer)	Multiarch Docker container packaging Borg, Borgmatic, and Apprise for automated backup orchestration with container stop/start hook support — part of the official borgmatic-collective. 7.2M+ pulls on Docker Hub
docker-borgmatic(personal fork)	Self-maintained fork of the above with custom builds and personal modifications running on S6 Overlay, supporting amd64 and arm64
cibuildwheel	CI pipeline that builds Python wheels for packages missing from PyPI, used to supply dependencies for the docker-borgmatic image — packages published to Cloudsmith
crowdsec-troubleshooter	Unprivileged, run-once Docker tool for diagnosing CrowdSec + Traefik setups — a wellness check, an IP block checker, and an optional live "does blocking actually work" test. No daemon, no docker.sock, no host networking, no capabilities required
docker-rickroll	Dockerised Rick Roll

Two-node Proxmox cluster backed by a dedicated Proxmox Backup Server, ZFS on both nodes, and an Unraid NAS for secondary storage. The PBS doubles as a QDevice — third vote in the quorum, keeping the cluster clean in a node failure without split-brain.

Everything is managed as code. Cloud-init templates are built with a custom script (multi-backend storage detection, SHA256 image verification, reusable config profiles) and kept current by a template update pipeline that patches source VMs concurrently via QEMU Guest Agent, handles reboots, then clones and converts to templates automatically.

Network infrastructure managed with Terraform, services provisioned with Ansible.

Storage, by the drive count: 19 physical disks spread across the cluster, backup server, and NAS — 4 NVMe, 11 SATA SSD, 4 HDD.

Samwise(primary — 20c / 256GB / ~1TB ZFS | IPMI for out-of-band management)

Frodo(secondary — 4c / 32GB / ~100GB ZFS)

Network(because the lab doesn't stop at the hypervisor)

Managed via a UniFi stack — everything named after Lord of the Rings characters because of course it is.

The Docker server runs a 50+ container stack across three isolated networks — a main bridge, an outbound-only network, and a fully internal network with no external routing. All services sit behind Traefik (HTTP/3, dual internal/external entrypoints, Cloudflare wildcard TLS), with Authentik as the SSO layer and CrowdSec handling threat intelligence via both a Traefik bouncer and a Cloudflare Worker bouncer.
