What I do
Architecture, delivery, operability - as one system
CI/CD, IaC, progressive delivery
Building reliable pipelines and environments with Terraform/Bicep, templated workflows, and safe rollout strategies.
DevOps & SRE
Designing for operability from day one: monitoring, runbooks, cost signals, and failure-mode thinking.

How I work
A simple process that scales
1) Constraints first
Security, compliance, budget, timelines, team skills, and operating model - then design within reality.
2) Operability by design
Architectures with clear failure modes, sane blast radius, and measurable reliability goals.
3) Automate delivery
IaC + pipeline templates + environment promotion to reduce drift, manual steps, and deployment anxiety.
4) Measure & iterate
Use observability and cost/traffic signals to validate decisions and improve continuously.
What you can expect
Clear outputs, low hand-waving
- Architecture decisions documented with trade-offs and “when not to use”.
- Reusable modules/templates to reduce cognitive load across teams.
- Observability baseline and runbooks so the system stays operable.
- Incremental delivery: safe rollouts, rollbacks, and quality gates.

Articles
Architecture, Delivery, and Operability Are One System
A perspective on treating cloud platforms as continuous systems - where architecture, delivery pipelines, and operations are inseparable parts of real-world design.
What Makes a Cloud Platform Actually Usable
A practical view on why platform success depends less on technology and more on how engineering teams actually experience and use it.
DevOps Is Not a Toolchain
A perspective on DevOps as a system of feedback loops, not a collection of tools, and why real transformation starts with ownership and operability.
