About me
K_
I'm a DevOps engineer with 6+ years building and running production infrastructure — from bare-metal beginnings to multi-region cloud platforms serving millions of requests a day.
I care about boring deploys: pipelines so reliable that shipping on Friday afternoon is a non-event. If a task has to be done twice, it gets scripted. If it has to be done three times, it gets a pipeline, monitoring, and an alert threshold.
# core philosophy: automate everything. trust nothing without a healthcheck.
