About Me

The human behind the YAML

Who am I?

I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of experience building, automating, and scaling production infrastructure for startups and enterprises alike. I care deeply about reliability, developer experience, and elegant automation.

When I’m not wrangling Kubernetes clusters or writing Terraform modules, you’ll find me contributing to open-source projects, writing about infrastructure patterns, or experimenting with the latest cloud-native tools.

My Stack

I work across the full DevOps spectrum — from cloud architecture and infrastructure-as-code to CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and incident response. I thrive in environments where automation is king and observability is non-negotiable.

What I value

  • Reliability over cleverness — boring infrastructure is good infrastructure
  • Documentation as code — if it’s not documented, it doesn’t exist
  • Automation-first mindset — if you do it twice, automate it
  • Blameless culture — postmortems are learning opportunities, not blame sessions
