zero-cost serverless automation

A serverless smart-boiler controller built like production infrastructure: Terraform-managed AWS Lambda, EventBridge schedules, S3 state, weather-aware automation, religious calendar constraints, and logs you can actually debug.

About

Builtforproduction.

I work where software meets reality: clusters, pipelines, cloud accounts, secrets, DNS, observability, Linux boxes, and the strange production edge cases that only show up at 2 a.m. My day-to-day is Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GitLab CI, Python automation, Prometheus/Grafana, Vault, Docker, and the habits that make systems easier to operate. I care about calm deploys, clear runbooks, least privilege, useful alerts, and platform work that helps developers ship without needing to understand every sharp edge underneath.

Case Study

Oneoutcome,realimpact.

Platform reliability: From fragile deploys to repeatable delivery

Problem

Deployments, infrastructure drift, secrets, and alerts get painful when every service has its own snowflake path to production.

Solution

Standardize the platform: Terraform modules with remote state, Kubernetes workloads with clear ownership, GitLab/GitHub pipeline templates, sane observability, and Python automation for the repetitive operational glue.

Outcome

Teams get safer deploys, faster recovery, fewer mystery failures, and infrastructure changes that can be reviewed, repeated, rolled back, and explained.

FAQ

Commonquestions.

  • DevOps, platform engineering, Kubernetes, Terraform/IaC, AWS, CI/CD, observability, Linux, secrets, IAM/RBAC, containers, and Python automation.

  • Start with the failure modes. Make the path repeatable. Automate the boring work. Add observability where decisions happen. Keep the platform simple enough that another engineer can operate it at 3 a.m.

  • GitHub has the public work trail, LinkedIn has the professional profile, and the sections below collect recent projects and technical focus areas.
