About
I work at Tech Alchemy and spend most of my time around DevOps, cloud engineering, application security, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
I focus on building scalable cloud platforms, Kubernetes and container workflows, infrastructure automation, observability, and security practices that fit into everyday engineering instead of slowing it down. The goal is simple: make systems easier to ship, safer to operate, and clearer to improve.
I'm also a CNCF Kubestronaut, having earned all five Kubernetes certifications: CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA. That journey strengthened the operational, application, and security perspectives I bring to cloud-native platform work.
Alongside client and platform work, I publish technical writing on DevOps, cloud security, scalable infrastructure, and the new AI-shaped edge of engineering workflows.
01
CNCF Kubestronaut with the complete CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA certification track.
02
Builds CI/CD systems with security checks, vulnerability feedback, and release controls embedded into the workflow.
03
Writes and teaches from the field, turning messy infrastructure lessons into practical guidance for engineering teams.
Expertise
Cloud, delivery, security, and the glue between them.
The work spans architecture and execution: infrastructure that can scale, pipelines that can be trusted, and operations that make real incidents less surprising.
DevSecOps & security automation
Secrets scanning, SAST, policy checks, WAFs, secure access, and vulnerability feedback built into delivery.
CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, release gates, deployment controls, and developer-friendly automation.
Kubernetes & containers
Cluster operations, Docker, ECS, workload security, production readiness, and cloud-native runbooks.
Observability & monitoring
Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, Loki, alert design, service health, and incident context.
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
Reusable modules, drift awareness, secure defaults, environment promotion, and reviewable infrastructure changes.
Developer workflows
Practical systems that reduce toil, improve feedback loops, and help engineers ship without losing control.
AI for DevOps / AIOps / MLOps
Exploring agentic operations, AI-assisted reviews, platform guardrails, and reliable model delivery practices.
