Senior SRE. Infrequent essayist. Occasional source of production incidents. This page is the long version of the bio.
I'm a passionate infrastructure engineer who spends most days playing with servers, orchestrating Kubernetes clusters, and occasionally making production environments cry, then fixing them, of course.
The journey started with C in college, moved to Python for scripts, spent a long stretch in love with Kotlin and Android, and somehow ended up in the beautiful chaos of DevOps and infrastructure. These days I tame containers, write Infrastructure as Code, and pretend to understand distributed systems.
When I'm not debugging why a pod is in CrashLoopBackOff, you'll find me poking at radio frequencies with SDR, hacking hardware with a Flipper Zero, training a Pwnagotchi, watching anime, grinding to 5k MMR in Dota 2 (Meepo, Tinker, Timbersaw), reliving the glory days of A3 India, or contemplating the meaning of life over pizza and coffee at 3am.
“I study best if I act like I am teaching an imaginary group of students the material using a chalkboard.”
The desk, the SDR, the Flipper, the Pwnagotchi, and the hourglass for measuring how long a deploy actually takes: see the workbench →
IoT, hardware hacking, security, CTFs, DevOps and SRE war stories, or a 1v1 in Dota 2 (Meepo, if you're feeling brave). I also hate watching teams burn VC money on unoptimized infra so Jeff Bezos can buy another yacht. If any of that sounds like your kind of conversation, let's talk.
