alex@muc:~$ cat about.md

PreSales Engineer with 5+ years turning complex infrastructure into closed deals. I sit at the intersection of deep technical understanding and clear communication — translating Kubernetes security, data protection, and cloud architecture into business value.

I build things to understand them. Homelabs for customer demos. REST API integrations. Proof-of-concepts that actually prove something. Currently helping enterprises secure their cloud-native stack at Sysdig.
