Résumé · GitHub · LinkedIn

I'm an AWS Platform Engineer with 14+ years in infrastructure — building production-grade cloud systems with Terraform, EKS, and GitOps. My focus is the foundations teams rely on: networking, IAM, compute, and storage, done right from day one.

I believe in understanding before doing, and this site is the public record of that. Three series run here: the Architecture Series takes one enterprise pattern at a time and works through the decisions behind it, the Weekly Lab builds a platform capability end to end each week, and Daily Intelligence covers what AWS shipped and whether it actually changes anything. Honest writeups throughout — including the ones where the first approach was wrong.

Outside cloud architecture, I think a lot about metabolic health, play cricket for fun, and keep coming back to how compounding works — in systems and in life.

॥ ఎదురైన మందహాసం నీలోని చెలిమి కోసం
మోసం రోషం ద్వేషం నీ మకిలి మదికి భాష్యం
పుట్టుక చావు రెండే రెండూ నీకవి సొంతం కావు పోనీ
జీవితకాలం నీదే నేస్తం రంగులు ఏం వేస్తావో కానియ్యి ॥

Let's connect

I write about cloud infrastructure, share what I'm learning, and occasionally post about health and life. If you're working on interesting cloud problems or just want to talk AWS — reach out.

I'm especially interested in conversations about multi-account AWS architecture, Terraform at scale, and GitOps patterns in production environments.
