Background & Certifications

I've built and operated IT infrastructures from the ground up for companies with hundreds of employees. I've worked on NATO, ESA, and national critical systems projects (112 Romania).

I know what it means to be responsible for 24/7 uptime, data security, and keeping infrastructure supporting production without interruption — not just on paper, but at 3 AM when something goes down.
