Computer Science graduate. Five years keeping systems running by hand. Now automating that same reliability into code.

/ 01 · about

Same discipline.
New toolchain.

I spent five years on the physical side of IT — cabling racks, configuring switches, keeping printers and workstations alive for companies that couldn't afford downtime. Then I finished a Computer Science degree and realized the discipline was the same: systems have to stay up, and when they don't, someone has to know exactly why.

DevOps is where that meets code. I'm the main contributor on a live MLOps platform running on a real VPS — Docker Compose, Nginx, GitHub Actions, SSL, the works — and I'm building out the Linux, database, and load-balancing skills to go with it. Azure AZ-900 certified. AWS certifications in progress.
