SEEKING WORK | Remote

Your toolbelt is full of Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Istio. They were supposed to help you, but you're still overloaded with Toil. I can help get your Infrastructure as Code under control and help make machines do most of the Ops, so you can focus on your business problems.

I'm well versed in IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible, general purpose languages like Golang, Python, and C if necessary, and I know when to switch between them. I treat cloud infrastructure as a software problem, because it's fully programmable. I make a point to layer code so most of the effort can be focused on a development cycle that doesn't break production; changes get tested before rolling them out,and an automated pipeline applies actual production changes.

I started my career on bare metal Linux and FreeBSD systems, then moved into AWS and later GCP. I love working in the cloud and on lower level things like firecracker VMs on bare metal.
