Two disciplines, one habit

A PhD trains you to distrust a result until you've verified it three different ways. Production infrastructure rewards exactly the same instinct: don't trust a deployment, a metric, or a "it should work" until you've tested it under the conditions that actually matter.

That's the thread connecting my research background in Gas Engineering to the work I do now as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer — and it's the lens this blog will write from.

What this site is for

This is a running log of the technical problems I run into (and solve) working with:

  • Cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba Cloud
  • Kubernetes and container orchestration at production scale
  • CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code
  • Observability, incident response, and reliability engineering

What to expect

Expect fewer "10 tips" listicles and more write-ups that look like:

# the command that actually fixed it
kubectl get pods -A --field-selector=status.phase!=Running

along with the reasoning that got me there — including the dead ends.
