About

I work as a Customer Success Engineer at HashiCorp, helping customers adopt our solutions and apply best practices in their projects, primarily with Vault and Terraform.

Before that, I worked in IBM Public Cloud, designing architectures and automating deployments.

I've always been interested in understanding how the different layers fit together, from networking and infrastructure to development, so I can approach problems with a clear view of the whole solution.
