I run production infrastructure. Kubernetes, bare-metal, GitOps, on-call — the whole stack. For 3 years I was the sole infrastructure engineer at Luxor, which means I’ve built from scratch, debugged at 3 AM, and learned more from production fires than any cert could teach. I don’t do shiny. I build things that stay up and don’t need me.
Self-hostable backend-as-a-service built solo: auth, RBAC, OAuth2, S3 storage, SQL workbench, feature flags, realtime, webhooks. ~65K lines, deployed on homelab k3s via Helmfile.
