About
I build the automation and tooling that keeps production reliable at scale. At SymphonyAI, that means owning observability across a 1000+ server estate on Azure and OCI — but more importantly, it means writing the Python and Ansible that eliminates the toil so the team doesn't have to do it manually.
In the last year: led a Zabbix 4 → 7 migration with zero monitoring gaps for 15k+ URL checks; automated daily alert digests, weekly and monthly utilisation reports across 4 customer categories — eliminating 15+ hours/week of manual data collection that used to take multiple people multiple days; and built OCI cleanup automation that identified $4,536/year in cloud waste across 20+ customer compartments while replacing a tedious manual hunt across 8 regions.
Now moving into Platform Engineering — pursuing CKA and Terraform Associate, and building IaC and containerisation projects that reflect the work, not just the certs.

Featured Projects
Real infra. Real pipelines. Real observability.
OCI Cloud Cost Automation
Automated weekly detection and cleanup of unattached OCI volumes across 20+ compartments — identified $4,536/year in cloud waste and replaced hours of manual hunting across 8 regions.
Monitoring Stack: Zabbix Migration & Automation
Led Zabbix 4 → 7 migration with zero monitoring gaps across 1000+ servers. Built Python automation eliminating 15+ hrs/week of manual daily, weekly, and monthly reporting.
EKS Cluster via Terraform
in progressProduction-style EKS cluster provisioned using Terraform VPC and EKS modules with remote state in S3 + DynamoDB locking.
Docker Multi-Service App → ECR
Multi-service application containerized with Docker and pushed to Amazon ECR with proper image tagging and lifecycle policies.

Beyond Vibe Coding: Directing AI to Build This Portfolio
Vibe coding is letting AI drive and hoping for the best. This is the other thing — directing Claude Code through every decision, catching its mistakes, and owning the outcomes. The real bugs, the git rollback, and what I learned.
Finding $4,500/year in OCI Cloud Waste with Python
How I built automated detection and cleanup of unattached OCI volumes across 20+ customer compartments — and why the safety gates matter as much as the detection.
Zero-Gap Zabbix 4 → 7 Migration at Scale
How I migrated 15,000+ URL checks and 1000+ servers from Zabbix 4 to Zabbix 7 without a single monitoring blind spot during cutover.
