I am based in Zurich, Switzerland. I’m open to remote work or to working on-site within the Zurich and Winterthur areas.

If you’d like to hire me, we can negotiate an hourly or daily rate, or a fixed-price contract.

I am a software engineer with significant SRE/DevOps experience. I like to help people create maintainable, resilient, scalable systems.

My SRE experience comes from many years at Google and some more recent client projects; confidentiality prevents me from publishing work many samples. However, if you browse my github repositories or my blog, you can see some code samples.
