Who I Am

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer and Platform Architect with 16+ years of learning and growing in the tech industry. My journey has taken me through cloud infrastructure, automation, and recently into the fascinating world of AI/ML platforms.

What drives me is the opportunity to share what I've learned along the way - the successes, the failures, and everything in between. I believe in continuous learning and the power of community knowledge sharing.

Goal: Help Others Grow

I believe every challenge is a learning opportunity, every project teaches something new, and the best way to truly understand something is to share it with others.
