A New Blog

I’ve finally taken the plunge and committed to sharing my DevOps experiences through this new blog. After years of wrestling with pipelines, debugging deployment issues, and celebrating those sweet moments when everything just clicks, I figured it’s time to give something back to the community that has taught me so much. I’ll be sharing both the wins and the “learning opportunities” (aka the times things went spectacularly wrong) that come with working in DevOps.

My journey has taken me from deploying massive GitLab deployments at enterprise customers to implementing a HashiCorp Vault solution at a global stock exchange, and I’ve learned something valuable at every step. I’ve seen how the right automation can transform a team’s efficiency - like cutting deployment times with Terraform, or turning a creaking legacy inventory system into a sleek cloud-native application that ran 50% faster. These are the kinds of experiences and insights I want to share here. I won’t commit to a rigid schedule, but I promise to write when I have something meaningful to contribute, whether it’s diving into the intricacies of scaling GitLab for thousands of developers or sharing war stories about automating CI/CD pipelines for the armed forces. I hope my experiences, whether they’re successes or spectacular failures, can help others navigating similar challenges in their DevOps adventures.
