✨ Platform & Site Reliability Engineer, DevSecOps practitioner, and fractional / interim CTO - 25+ years across software, infrastructure, cloud, security, and technical leadership. ✨

I'm a xennial neo-generalist with a PhD in Computer Science from University of Latvia. Through my boutique practice Estivador I help technology companies build secure cloud platforms, mature their security and reliability, prepare for SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and step in with hands-on technical leadership when they need it.

I gravitate to work where failure is expensive - critical systems, regulated and restricted environments, and cloud migrations - and I favour practical improvements that fit real constraints over fashionable tooling.

• 🏗️ Platform Engineering & SRE - cloud architecture, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, reliability, and cost optimisation
• 🌐 Networking & Infrastructure - firewalls, routing and switching, VPNs, network segmentation, and on-prem / bare-metal servers and hardware
• 🔐 Cybersecurity & DevSecOps - turning security requirements into practical controls across infrastructure, delivery, and identity
• ✅ SOC 2 & ISO 27001 enablement - readiness assessments, control design, remediation, evidence processes, and long-term operation
• 🧭 Fractional / Interim CTO - technical strategy, architecture, engineering standards, hiring, and enterprise readiness
