I keep servers running so you can sleep

About me

I started messing with networks and Linux servers back when dial-up was still a thing. Over the years I moved from cables and racks to VMs, then containers, and now Kubernetes clusters. The tools changed but the goal stayed the same: keep things running.

I like solving problems that save money. One time I cut cloud costs by 9x just by looking at what was actually running vs. what we were paying for. Another time I got deployments down from 2 hours to under 3 minutes. Small wins add up.

What I do

Mostly I make infrastructure boring. Boring is good. Boring means it works.

Cloud & Kubernetes

  • I run Kubernetes clusters on AWS and Azure. Started with VMs, migrated to containers. The clusters stay up.
  • Moved workloads from old VMs to containers. Cut costs, improved scalability, fewer 3am calls.
  • Autoscaling, load balancing, failover. The stuff that lets you sleep at night.

Automation & CI/CD

  • Pipelines that deploy in minutes instead of hours. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI.
  • Terraform and Ansible. I stopped clicking buttons in consoles years ago.
  • Grafana dashboards, Prometheus alerts, Loki logs. When something breaks, I know before users do.

Networking & Security

  • VPNs, firewalls, WAF rules. Keeping the bad stuff out.
  • IPv6, BGP, MikroTik. I won a LACNIC IPv6 award in 2018, which was a nice surprise.
  • TLS certs with automatic rotation. No more expired certificate emergencies.

After hours

I automate my house like I automate servers. My wife thinks it's excessive. She's probably right.

Home Assistant

Home Assistant on a local server. No cloud, no subscription, no one else controlling my lights.

Frigate NVR

Security cameras with object detection. My own hardware, my own rules.

Alexa

Voice control hooked into Home Assistant. Lights, AC, coffee maker. The usual.

IoT & Zigbee

Sensors everywhere. Temperature, motion, doors. The house knows what I need before I do.
