DevOps Engineer who likes to automate stuff so I can sleep better at night.
Been working with servers, containers, and cloud things for a while now. My job is making sure apps don't crash when everyone's trying to use them at the same time.
I work with Kubernetes a lot. Also write Terraform configs and set up CI/CD pipelines. When something breaks at 2 AM, I'm usually the one fixing it.
Most of my day involves:
- Making deployment processes that don't need manual steps
- Setting up monitoring so we know when things go wrong
- Writing automation scripts in Python and Go
- Managing AWS and GCP infrastructure
- Helping developers deploy their code without breaking production
I write about problems I've solved. Maybe it'll help someone else who's stuck with the same issue.

Container stuff: Docker for packaging apps, Kubernetes for running them. ArgoCD handles deployments through Git.
Infrastructure: Terraform for cloud resources, Ansible when I need to configure servers. Pulumi when I want to write infrastructure in actual programming languages.
Monitoring: Prometheus collects metrics, Grafana makes pretty charts. They tell me when things are about to break.
Cloud: AWS mostly, some GCP. DigitalOcean for personal projects because it's simple.
Languages: Go for backend services, Python for scripts and automation. Bash when I need something quick and dirty.
If you're dealing with infrastructure problems or just want to talk about tech stuff, feel free to reach out. Always interested in hearing about different approaches to solving things.
