I'm a cloud and infra engineer 9+ years in my journey. Designed Disaster Recovery solutions and commanded AppSec efforts. Sometimes I had to put out some fires, hey you can't win them all.
I've worked across platform engineering and security, which basically means I've seen what happens when you ignore both. Lately I'm mostly focused on cloud architecture, K8S, and automating anything that's worth it.
