I'm an infrastructure engineer from Bucharest with experience in IT infrastructure since 2007. I've worked on Vodafone platforms since 2018, and I'm currently CNI (Cloud & Network Infrastructure) Technical Manager at Vodafone Romania. Before that I spent several years on Vodafone UK's managed data center as a System Engineer and Senior System Engineer, including the Hayes to Park Royal DC migration.
My day-to-day work is VMware vSphere and NSX-T on telco NFVi platforms: NSX-V removal and NSX-V to NSX-T migration, Kubernetes and VMware Tanzu, Dell PowerStore storage migrations, and data center migration and decommissioning, with PowerShell/PowerCLI automation. I usually deliver 1-3 infrastructure projects a year end to end, working with international teams and vendors.
I'm available remotely, part-time, in the evenings and at weekends for migration windows.
