With 18+ years architecting mission-critical infrastructure in fintech, banking, and government sectors, I specialize in building highly available platforms, implementing GitOps automation, and deploying enterprise AI systems.

• 🔭 Currently working on: GitOps delivery automation, CESOP regulatory compliance systems, and enterprise AI knowledge management at Walletto
• 🌱 Currently learning: Advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) server development, GPU orchestration for LLM workloads, and AI/ML observability patterns
• 👯 Looking to collaborate on: Open-source DevOps tools, Kubernetes operators, AI infrastructure projects, and regulatory compliance automation
• 💬 Ask me about: Kubernetes architecture, GitOps workflows, self-hosted AI infrastructure, MCP integration, PostgreSQL optimization, or CESOP compliance
