Bio
I am the founder of Xloud Technologies and an infrastructure architect building a sovereign, AI-ready private cloud platform on OpenStack, Ceph, and KVM/QEMU/libvirt — engineered as a full VMware and Nutanix alternative rather than a point tool. My work spans compute (NUMA-aware Nova scheduling, live vCPU/RAM hotplug, vTPM), Ceph-backed software-defined storage with automated NVMe/SSD/HDD tiering, and the deployment/security layer (Kolla-Ansible-based orchestration, Wazuh SIEM, CIS/Essential Eight/IRAP/FedRAMP compliance automation). I also lead engineering on XMS, our agentless VMware-to-KVM migration suite — covering CBT-based warm migration, VDDK/nbdkit data paths, and cross-hypervisor guest conversion for Windows and Linux — built to move enterprises off VMware without the licensing lock-in Broadcom now imposes.
