Backend and platform engineer at Avalon building a deployment platform that generates Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests from repository analysis.

Message

At Avalon (Isorropia AI), I’m building a zero-config, cloud-agnostic deployment platform that analyzes repositories and generates Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests. I own the Go backend architecture, including GitHub webhook-triggered deployments and a pre-deployment validation pipeline.

I also design and operate Avalon’s Azure and Kubernetes infrastructure, and I’m building a tree-sitter-based code analysis engine to detect frameworks, services, and dependencies. I co-founded Avalon and lead technical direction alongside a co-founder.

Previously, at SecPod, I led CNAPP backend development across AWS and Azure, owning about 80% of core modules. I built a misconfiguration detection engine with about 95% accuracy, and worked on cloud resource collection, vulnerability prioritization, and REST APIs.
