About
Who I am
DevOps Engineer / SRE, self-hoster, privacy enthusiast, and a true FOSS enjoyer.
I build and run infrastructure so that services stay predictable and boring — from home labs and on-prem boxes to GPU-heavy clouds. I care about clear architecture, reproducible setups, and being able to fix things quickly when they break.
Most of my work is about making deployments safer, outages shorter, and day-to-day operations less painful for everyone involved.
