Cloud • DevOps • Kubernetes • AI Engineering

I'm a Software Engineer working at IBM, passionate about building reliable cloud-native systems, automating everything I can, and sharing what I learn along the way.

I love working across the stack — from Kubernetes deployments to CI/CD pipelines to documentation that actually makes sense.

• 🛠️ Build and manage applications on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS)
• ☸️ Write production-ready Helm Charts (frontend, backend, Ingress routing)
• 📦 Create and improve CI/CD pipelines (Gradle, Jenkins, container builds)
• 🌐 Work on deployments that require public internet access & secure routing
• 🧰 Integrate tools with MCP servers, expose authenticated APIs, and experiment with RAG setups
• 📝 Write and polish developer documentation, CLI usage guides, and tech specs
• 🧩 Familiar with DITA XML, AEM, and topic-based authoring
