Former AWS Security Engineer and Senior Cloud & Network Security Architect at the European Parliament.

I design secure, scalable, production-grade cloud systems — and teach others how to do the same.

I design and secure large-scale cloud and infrastructure environments across complex, multi-national organizations. With experience spanning security engineering, cloud architecture, and DevOps transformation, I focus on building resilient, scalable, and governance-driven systems.

I am open to high-impact opportunities where I can contribute to strategic architecture, security leadership, and long-term technical vision.

📜 Philosophy

My philosophy is 'do it the Roman way'.

The Roman empire, one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen, depended on its legionnaires to expand and protect all of its conquered territories. For this reason, the Roman legionnaire left nothing to chance. From his weaponry and clothing, to his helmet and boots, everything was designed for maximum efficiency on the field of battle. In other words, the Roman legionnaire was the ultimate control freak in history. And that's the model I believe engineers should strive to emulate today.
