About

Buildinginfrastructurethatscales

I'm a DevOps Engineer at Aspora (YC W22) where I architect multi-environment AWS infrastructure, design VPC peering topologies, and build deployment lifecycles that turn chaotic releases into boring, reliable rollouts.

I shipped production code into the Kubernetes ecosystem through Google Summer of Code (Prometheus Operator) and the LFX Mentorship (Kyverno) - both CNCF projects.

I write Go, think in YAML, dream in Terraform plans, and I run Arch Linux - because sometimes the best way to understand infrastructure is to break your own first.
