    "summary": "Having a real passion for everything IT, I turn challenges into learning opportunities. Working in the field for as long as I can remember, my first experience started hands-on as I learned how to assemble and connect computers.\n\n As the years have passed, I continue to explore the many topics that the IT world has to offer. I usually spend my day around Ansible, Consul, Jenkins, Terraform, Docker, and most recently, Kubernetes. Along with a chatbot, they enable me to quickly deliver self-serve pipelines in order to provide teams around the organization with anything from bootstrapping a new on-premise or cloud environment, triggering a build, deploying a release or switching to a disaster recovery site.\n\n Currently, I have strong experience in designing data-centers and networks, maintaining infrastructure on bare metal, hypervisors or containers, delivering monolithic or microserviced applications, as well as a proven track record with large scale SaaS environments and post-merger integrations. I also participate with recruiting and interviewing processes, in addition to training and mentoring new and remote team members.",
