DevOps Engineer

Navigating the infrastructure between stars.

I build systems that survive the long journey — resilient, observable, and quietly automatic. Currently charting deployments across the Kubernetes void.

MISSION LOG // 01

Seven years charting systems through production.

I started deploying cron jobs on a shared hosting account. Now I orchestrate 200-service Kubernetes clusters that handle millions of requests per second. The journey between those two points taught me that infrastructure is not about the tools — it's about the people who get paged at 3am.

I work in Rust, Go, and Python. I prefer boring technology that works. I write runbooks before I write code. I believe observability is a feature, not an afterthought.
