Experience Highlights

Resilient Monitoring Stack for Hybrid Infrastructure

Building systems is easy. Knowing when they’re on fire? That’s the hard part. This project involved designing and deploying a full observability stack for a hybrid infrastructure spread across cloud and bare metal nodes. The client had fragmented metrics, no centralized logging, and alert fatigue that made on-call rotations a nightmare. I implemented a clean, modular stack using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Alertmanager. All components were provisioned via Ansible and containerized for portability. We defined meaningful alerting thresholds and routed pages based on severity and ownership.

Zero-Trust Mesh VPN with Nebula

I designed and deployed a modern mesh VPN using Nebula, enabling secure, low-latency access across a globally distributed infrastructure without punching holes in firewalls or juggling SSH bastions. The client had a mix of dev laptops, production servers, and internal services spread across cloud providers and home labs. They needed internal service access without exposing anything to the public internet, while also segmenting access by role and environment. Nebula suited this project and team perfectly.

Deployment Stack Revamp with IaC and GitOps

The client came to me with a classic mess: inconsistent environments, brittle shell scripts, broken deploys, and developers afraid to touch production. I completed a full audit of their deployment stack. Over time, we transitioned critical services to IaC with Terraform and Ansible, added service health checks, replaced manual deploys with a GitOps flow, and introduced light CI/CD with GitHub Actions. We also revamped SSH access control and internal service documentation, simplifying deploys. This was a slow, deliberate project. The kind that makes teams faster, safer, and more confident.
