15+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and optimizing infrastructure. I've worked on everything from bare-metal Linux clusters to Kubernetes deployments, managing systems for small startups and large enterprises alike.
I've seen too many companies watch their cloud bills spiral out of control. Through this blog, I share what I've learned helping organizations break free from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Running your own infrastructure is simpler and cheaper than you think, and you can absolutely do it yourself.
My mission: Help you escape cloud vendor lock-in. I want to show you how to build and manage your own infrastructure. And if you ever need a hand, I'm here to help.
