about
I'm Nehemiah I build scalable backend systems and the platforms that run them. From APIs and distributed services to CI/CD, infrastructure, and observability, I engineer systems designed for reliability, performance, and scale.
skills & tools
The technologies behind the systems I build.
projects
Built a custom DAG-based CI/CD platform with isolated Linux sandbox builds (namespaces, cgroups v2) and a content-addressable artifact registry with SHA-256 verification and deterministic dependency resolution.
Production-grade observability stack (LGTM) provisioned entirely as code via Terraform, correlating metrics, logs, and traces in Grafana with SLO/error-budget and DORA metrics dashboards.
Declarative deployment CLI generating runtime configs from a single manifest, with OPA-enforced policy gates and automated canary promotion/rollback based on live health and latency metrics.
Migrated 40+ services from manual kubectl deploys to a fully GitOps-driven workflow using ArgoCD and Kustomize. Every production change is now version-controlled, reviewed, and auditable.

writing
A deep dive into the subtle misconfiguration that silently routes traffic to pods that aren't ready — and how to fix it properly.
The difference between teams that adopt ArgoCD as a tool and teams that actually practice GitOps. Spoiler: it's mostly cultural.
How I learned to write runbooks that actually help during incidents, not just check a compliance box.
