I design, automate, and operate cloud infrastructure — so engineering teams spend their time building products.
about
I'm Nehemiah, a DevOps Engineer building reliable cloud platforms through automation, Infrastructure as Code, and observability—helping teams ship software faster and with confidence.
My approach is simple: automate everything repeatable, observe everything critical, and design systems to fail gracefully. I believe the best platform engineering is almost invisible—it empowers developers without getting in their way.
When I'm not improving deployment pipelines or tuning observability stacks, I'm thinking about how to make the next incident the last time that particular thing ever goes wrong.
skills & tools
Tools I reach for daily — and a few I've used enough to know when not to reach for them.
projects
A selection of infrastructure, automation, and platform projects — with real numbers where I can share them.
Designed and built a fully automated blue-green deployment pipeline across two AWS regions using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and Terraform. Reduced mean deploy time from 45 minutes to under 6 minutes.
Built a self-hosted observability platform on Kubernetes using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and OpenTelemetry. Centralized metrics, logs, and traces for 12 microservices with automated alerting via PagerDuty.
Designed a Backstage-based IDP that gave developers self-service access to infrastructure provisioning, service catalog, and runbooks. Reduced platform team toil by automating 80% of repetitive requests.
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
Occasional writing on platform engineering, SRE practices, and the messy human side of keeping systems running.
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.
contact
Open to DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering roles — and always happy to talk about infrastructure, security, reliability, or GitOps.
