Summary

I’m a software engineer focused on Platform Engineering, DevOps and production reliability.

I started in full-stack development and gradually moved closer to infrastructure: containers, cloud deployments, CI/CD, Kubernetes, observability and the systems responsible for keeping applications running reliably.

Today, I build production-style infrastructure labs alongside my commercial engineering work, with a growing focus on SRE and AI infrastructure.

Selected Engineering Work

These projects document systems I have actually built, broken, debugged and validated.

01 — Kubernetes Observability Pipeline

Kubernetes · Prometheus · Grafana · Helm · FastAPI

Built a 3-node Kubernetes environment running a FastAPI/PostgreSQL application with Prometheus and Grafana observability.

Prometheus initially discovered 0/0 application targets despite a healthy metrics endpoint. I traced the failure through the monitoring pipeline to Kubernetes label and Service port mismatches, corrected the ServiceMonitor configuration and restored 2/2 healthy targets.

What this demonstrates:

Kubernetes debugging · Service discovery · Prometheus Operator · Observability · PromQL

02 — Kubernetes Autoscaling Under Load

Kubernetes · HPA · Metrics Server · Prometheus · Grafana

Built and load-tested a Kubernetes deployment to study resource allocation and horizontal autoscaling under CPU-intensive workloads.

Configured resource requests/limits and a 50% CPU HPA target, generated sustained load against the API and observed the deployment automatically scale from 2 → 4 replicas in approximately 60 seconds.
