Cloud • DevOps • Kubernetes • AI Engineering
I'm a Software Engineer working at IBM, passionate about building reliable cloud-native systems, automating everything I can, and sharing what I learn along the way.
I love working across the stack — from Kubernetes deployments to CI/CD pipelines to documentation that actually makes sense.
- 🛠️ Build and manage applications on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS)
- ☸️ Write production-ready Helm Charts (frontend, backend, Ingress routing)
- 📦 Create and improve CI/CD pipelines (Gradle, Jenkins, container builds)
- 🌐 Work on deployments that require public internet access & secure routing
- 🧰 Integrate tools with MCP servers, expose authenticated APIs, and experiment with RAG setups
- 📝 Write and polish developer documentation, CLI usage guides, and tech specs
- 🧩 Familiar with DITA XML, AEM, and topic-based authoring
