Brief
I'm an IT professional with nearly a decade in cloud and infrastructure. I help teams move off fragile, hand-built systems and onto reproducible platforms — Terraform from the ground up, CI/CD that actually catches things, and observability that pages on symptoms, not causes.
Most of my work sits between platform engineering and SRE: writing the boring glue that lets product teams ship without thinking about the substrate underneath.
Operating principles
Boring infrastructure wins.
If your platform is interesting at 3am, something has gone wrong. I optimise for predictability over cleverness.
Automate the second time.
First time: do it by hand and document. Second time: write the script. Third time: it's already in CI.
Pages have a cost.
Every alert that fires without action erodes trust. SLOs first, dashboards second, alerts last.
Security is a default, not a feature.
Least privilege, encrypted transit, rotated secrets — applied at provisioning time, not as remediation.
