About

I enjoy building software distribution pipelines from the ground up. Over the years, I've collected a treasure chest of configuration and tools to create and maintain infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability. I generally use these platforms and tools: - AWS - Terragrunt, Terraform - Github Actions, Jenkins, Gitlab - Kubernetes, Helm, Helmfile, Spinnaker - Bash, Typescript, Golang, Python - MongoDB, Aurora Postgres, Elasticache Redis, Nginx, SQS, SNS, etc. - Datadog, Pagerduty
