👋 Hi there, I'm the Buff Developer

DevOps Specialist & Kubernetes Expert

I'm a passionate DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud-native infrastructure, continuous integration/delivery pipelines, and secure application deployment strategies with a focus on the complete software development lifecycle.

💪 Where Strength Meets Technology

Just as I build resilient systems in the cloud, I apply the same discipline to building physical strength in the gym. The principles that guide my weightlifting journey—consistency, incremental progress, and data-driven optimization—directly transfer to how I approach DevOps. Both require patience, precise execution, and continuous improvement. Whether I'm designing a high-availability Kubernetes cluster or completing a challenging workout, the commitment to excellence, methodical approach, and focus on measurable results remain the same.
