Profile

I'm Pau, a systems administrator with a background in networking and IT infrastructure, building my career in cloud computing and automation.

I completed my Higher VET qualification in Network Systems Administration (ASIR), including a dual vocational training placement at Barcelona City Council's Information Systems and Telecommunications Department. There, I gained hands-on experience in technical support, systems administration and user management.

I'm currently pursuing an Advanced VET Specialization in Cloud Resource and Services Administration, covering AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, cloud infrastructure, networking, storage, databases, automation and cybersecurity. Alongside this, I'm studying at 42 Barcelona, developing my programming and problem-solving skills through project-based, peer-to-peer learning.

My main interests are Linux, cloud infrastructure and automation, with a particular interest in how these areas come together in DevOps. I enjoy understanding how systems work, troubleshooting technical issues and putting what I learn into practice.

I'm looking for junior opportunities in cloud infrastructure, systems administration or DevOps where I can contribute, keep learning and grow as part of a technical team.
