I build and operate Kubernetes infrastructure, bare-metal platforms, and LLM systems.
What I'm looking for
At SMART, I own production infrastructure for an enterprise platform serving customers in education, manufacturing, and transportation. I operate 12 Kubernetes clusters across 45 nodes handling roughly 10K RPS at 99.85% uptime.
I've progressed from DevOps intern to Infrastructure / ML Platform Engineer, building GitOps delivery, backups, disaster recovery, on-call operations, and bare-metal deployments in customer data centers. I’ve migrated microservices from VMware to k3s, automated ArgoCD-based releases, and reduced issue resolution from months to about one week through an internal field operations platform.
I investigate production failures deeply, from authentication bypasses and silent content outages to provider-side network filtering and PostgreSQL backup failures. I turn incidents into durable fixes, alerting, runbooks, and safer operating practices.
I also built an internal LLM-powered infrastructure analytics platform across all clusters, using Kubernetes events, Prometheus metrics, Qdrant, embeddings, reranking, model fallback routing, MCP servers, and agentic workflows. Outside work, I build and publish open-source Linux and terminal tools, including SSHub, a Rust terminal UI for SSH.
