Independent platform engineering

Infrastructure that gets
out of your way.

Borlean helps engineering teams turn manual, error-prone operations into reliable platforms — built with Python, PowerShell and Ansible, containerized with Docker, and shipped through solid CI/CD.

Focused, senior platform engineering

No layers of account managers. You deal directly with the person doing it.

Python automation

Custom platforms and services built with FastAPI, Pandas-driven data pipelines and scripted integrations that replace manual, error-prone processes.

PowerShell & Windows automation

Sprawling, one-off scripts turned into structured PowerShell modules with automated linting and CI/CD build pipelines.

Ansible & Infrastructure as Code

Ansible Automation Platform and Terraform, with GitOps-driven playbooks and IaC standards that turn tribal-knowledge scripts into a maintainable system.

Docker & Kubernetes

Containerized services and internal platforms on Docker and Kubernetes (AKS), built to run the same in development as they do in production on Azure.

CI/CD pipelines

GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines with linting, testing and automated builds — so changes ship safely, every time.

Identity & self-service platforms

Automated identity lifecycles on Microsoft Entra ID and RBAC, plus ServiceNow forms and portals that let teams request access without opening a ticket.

Built on ten years of enterprise automation

Borlean is the independent practice of Gabor Bucsai, who spent a decade turning manual IT operations into scripted, tested and self-service platforms — starting as a junior sysadmin and growing into a lead engineer fostering an automation-first culture and guiding cross-functional engineering teams worldwide.

Engagements range from a short automation audit to embedded platform ownership, working remotely alongside your team for as long as it's useful and not a day longer.

  • Python, PowerShell and Ansible, run in production at enterprise scale
  • Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines that make delivery repeatable
  • Identity (IAM) and self-service tooling that gets requests off your ticket queue
  • Cost-conscious by default — existing tools and open source before another subscription
10+ Years in enterprise IT and automation
90% IAM toil eliminated for 6,000 users via event-driven Ansible
70% Technical debt cut in 6 months with Ansible Automation Platform
60% Code delivery sped up with standardized Dev Container workflows

What managers say

Excerpts from performance reviews and reference letters.

“What set Gabor apart was his instinct to automate. Where others saw repetitive manual work as a fact of life, he saw an opportunity. He consistently looked for ways to remove toil, reduce error, and make our operations more repeatable and reliable. … His most lasting contribution was laying the foundation for our Infrastructure as Code approach.”

“He is a self-starter. He has a very positive work approach, helpful and thoughtful attitude and high quality performance in his daily professional activities. … With his great IT knowledge, he could help our team implement automated solutions for processes which had been done manually before.”
