Journey from Floppy disks to the Cloud
My relationship with computers started long before my career did. I remember installing Gigabyte drivers using a floppy disk on Windows 98. I had no idea what a driver even was, but I kept trying until something worked. That curiosity never left. Years later, in my first year of college, I got my hands on the Windows 8 preview and immediately installed it on my uncle’s system. Broke it completely. No regrets - it was my first real introduction to the kernel, and the first time I learned how to recover a system from scratch.
When I eventually got into Linux, something clicked. The ability to talk directly to hardware, tweak things at a low level, read about it in Digit every month - it felt less like learning and more like finally speaking a language I was always meant to.
Mechanical Engineering gave me a way to think about systems - how components interact, where things fail, why constraints matter. Cloud and DevOps gave me a canvas to apply that thinking at scale. The transition wasn’t a pivot, it was a natural pull.
⚡ What Drives Me
When something’s broken or inefficient, I go quiet and disappear into it until it’s fixed. I enjoy making systems simple and robust - the kind of infrastructure that just works, and that someone else can understand and build on.
🎯 What I Work With
- Cloud Infrastructure: Azure and GCP
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, reproducible and scalable deployments
- DevOps & Automation: Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins
- AI: Exploring the foundations - understanding how models work, not just using them
- Security: Zero-Trust architecture and cloud compliance
- 2026 Certifications: CKA · GCP Professional Cloud Architect · GCP Generative AI Leader ✅
🧭 Where I’m Headed
I’m currently focused on applying that thinking in practice,designing systems that hold together across cloud, security, networking, and automation. The goal isn’t just building things that work, but building things that scale, stay secure, and remain simple enough for the next person to maintain.
I’m also going deeper into AI, not just using tools, but understanding what’s under the hood. Building something of my own, from the ground up, is something I’m actively working toward.
