Infrastructure engineer running ~20 rootless Podman services on Debian, with automated deployments, monitoring, and recovery.

Message

I run the infrastructure for my side-project products end to end: about 20 rootless Podman containers on a Debian host, deployed and managed with systemd. I route 15+ public hostnames through nginx and a Cloudflare tunnel, with DNS automated through the Cloudflare API.

I’ve diagnosed and fixed a fleet-wide restart storm by rewriting 25 systemd units, and resolved silent nginx 502s caused by cached upstream IPs. I also build the products, using Go, Python, Vue 3, and Flutter.
