who i am
I'm a backend engineer turned platform engineer — started in PHP (Symfony, Laravel, Yii) building services, then got pulled into the systems that run them.
These days I'm focused on the unglamorous craft of keeping deploys boring: centralised CI/CD on GitHub Actions, Helm and Istio in production, and the supply-chain and compliance work that's getting harder to ignore.
I write about it on this site and occasionally talk about it in person — most recent talk was "Observability as Code" at a backend meetup.
Open to talks, collaboration, and coffee.
