About Me
Passionate DevOps Engineer with a unique blend of technical expertise and analytical thinking.
Professional Journey
With over 6 years of experience in DevOps engineering, I've built a career around creating reliable, scalable, and efficient cloud infrastructure. My journey began with a strong foundation in both Computer Science and Chemistry, which has given me a unique perspective on problem-solving and systematic thinking.
I specialize in Azure cloud platforms, Kubernetes orchestration, and comprehensive monitoring solutions. My experience spans from junior roles to mid-level positions, where I've led infrastructure migrations, implemented disaster recovery solutions, and optimized CI/CD pipelines for high-availability systems. I communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, as one of my core values is collaboration and building relationships with people.
Core Values
Excellence
Committed to delivering high-quality solutions and maintaining the highest standards in all projects.
Innovation
Always exploring new technologies and methodologies to improve efficiency and solve complex problems.
Collaboration
Believe in the power of teamwork and open communication to achieve shared goals and success. Building relationships with people is key to success.
Technical Philosophy
Infrastructure as Code
I believe in treating infrastructure as code, using tools like Terraform and PowerShell DSC to ensure consistency, repeatability, and version control of all infrastructure components.
Monitoring & Observability
Proactive monitoring is essential for system reliability. I implement comprehensive monitoring and observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic to ensure issues are identified and resolved before they impact users. Proactive > Reactive.
Automation & Efficiency
Automation is key to scaling operations efficiently. I focus on building automated CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and operational workflows that reduce manual work, increase reliability, and minimize human error.
Adoption of AI (with caution)
With the rise of AI, I believe in leveraging it to reduce toil and boost productivity — not to replace the human element, but to enhance it. I avoid adding AI for its own sake, as it can drive unnecessary complexity, cost, and tunnel vision.
K.I.S.S Principle (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate things. Simple solutions are easier to understand, maintain, and scale.
Keep Disaster Recovery in Mind
Always have a plan B. Prepare for the worst-case scenario — and hope it's never needed.
Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge sharing is fundamental to a team's success. I believe in sharing my expertise to help others grow and succeed, while continuously learning from my teammates to improve myself. Technology evolves rapidly, and it's impossible for one person to keep up with everything alone — collaboration and collective learning are what keep teams strong. Clear SOPs and thorough documentation are also essential for ensuring consistency, efficiency, and long-term success.
Beyond Work
When I'm not building and maintaining cloud infrastructure. I also enjoy experimenting with new technologies and tools, for personal projects, such as this website. I also enjoy staying active and eating new foods and recently started collecting Pokemon cards!
