About
Yolo.....Hey. I'm a platform engineer with a dash of cloudsecurity who spends most of my time thinking about distributed systems, performance, and the gap between how things are supposed to work and how they actually work in production.
This blog is a personal reference. I write things down when I've spent too long figuring something out and don't want to do it again from scratch. If it's useful to someone else, great. If not, at least I have somewhere to link from code reviews.
I'm not trying to be a content creator. There's no posting schedule. I write when I have something worth writing.
What I work with
- AWS — primary cloud platform
- Terraform — for Infrastrucute as code
- Python — glue, scripts, one-offs
- PostgreSQL — almost always
- Kubernetes, Docker — containers all the way down
- Linux — the operating system shaped like a philosophy
- Grafan, Prometheus - Monitoring everything!
Hardware
- Dell XPS 15 (model 9530)
