About
I work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, systems engineering, DevOps, automation and technical operations.
My work spans Linux, networking, containers, cloud platforms, deployment pipelines, observability, support engineering and infrastructure automation.
I enjoy understanding how systems behave beneath the application layer, and turning complex operational problems into reliable engineering solutions.
Progression
Technical Support then Systems Engineering then Cloud Operations then DevOps then Infrastructure Automation then Platform Engineering then Architecture
Engineering philosophy
- — Understand before automating.
- — Infrastructure is software.
- — Observability is part of the system.
- — Automate repetitive operations.
- — Design for failure.
- — Prefer simple systems that can be operated.
