Matthias Paulsson👾
Senior NOC Engineer
./summary
Senior NOC Engineer with 4+ years of 24×7 Tier-3 responsibility for 300+ bare-metal and VMware nodes in global gaming hosting infrastructure. Hands-on daily with Linux fleet management, VMware NSX, Proxmox deployments, enterprise networking (Juniper / Cisco / MikroTik), storage, backups, and monitoring. Comfortable writing internal Bash/Python tooling to eliminate repetitive operational work — and the colleagues who caused it. This system runs without a supervisor process. If that's a dealbreaker, the issue is on your end.
