Hey there š Iām excited to finally launch this blogāa space where Iāll share my journey, experiments, and lessons from building secure, scalable systems across the stack.
š Where It All Began
I started out as a curious teenager, experimenting with HTML, CSS, and PHP. Back then, setting up WordPress sites and tweaking VPS servers was just a fun way to learn. Iād dive into server configs, mess with CDNs, and try to break (and then fix) things late into the night.
That curiosity grew into a passion for backend systems, security, and infrastructureāand over time, I began building real-world projects for clients and companies.
š From Freelance Gigs to Enterprise Engineering
Since those early days, Iāve worked on everything from solo side-projects to high-availability enterprise infrastructure:
- Built secure microservices in Rust, Go, and Python
- Automated deployments and compliance (FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, SSL hardening)
- Delivered monitoring stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack
- Deployed Kubernetes clusters with GitOps (including SUSE RKE2 and CIS hardening)
- Worked with Proxy Servers, WebRTC, 3D engines, and designed cloud-native observability pipelines
Iāve freelanced through platforms like UpWork, collaborated with global teams, and contributed to open source through Google Summer of Code.
š” What Youāll Find Here
This blog is my attempt to give back to the dev community and document my learnings in the open. Expect posts on:
- Backend engineering (Rust, Go, C/C++, Python, etc.)
- Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and DevOps
- Observability and security
- Real-world engineering stories, both successes and failures
- Lessons from freelancing and scaling solo projects
Whether youāre a student, a sysadmin transitioning to DevOps, or a fellow builder who loves clean, resilient softwareāyouāll probably find something useful here.
š¤ Letās Connect
Iād love for you to follow along, leave comments, and share your thoughts. You can also find me here:
This is just the beginningāthanks for being here š
