Building reliable self-service platforms, automated delivery paths and clear operating models for distributed engineering teams.
About
I'm a Senior Site Reliability & Platform Engineer, available for global remote contracts. Over the past several years I've engineered cloud infrastructure across US, European and LATAM tech companies. I specialise in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDP), automated GitOps pipelines, and scaling cloud telemetry.
My mission is to champion developer self-service autonomy and to eliminate operational toil through clear asynchronous documentation and written architectural standards. Also working on my own SaaS projects in my spare time: Ecomfw, Zyfinbot & Fisihome.

Practical findings on infrastructure, platform engineering and developer experience
How to delete cloud artifact registry container images after one year excluding live ones
A registry policy based on age and position can delete an image that production still pins. This cleanup job reads the deployment state first, stops when its input is unreliable, and publishes its plan days before it deletes anything.
Architecture Decision Record: promote microservices with pull requests to a GitOps repository
A sanitized Architecture Decision Record from an internal developer platform: every promotion is written as a pull request, and a controller reconciles the cluster from the repository.
Need a more reliable platform?
Let's discuss self-service infrastructure, automation and the operating practices that help engineering teams move safely.
