Hi, I'm r11r.
DevOps Engineer focused on purposeful automation and building infrastructure that stays out of the way. I’m at my best writing Python to solve complex logic and using Ansible to keep environments consistent. I value true agility but prefer to steer clear of the overhead and bureaucracy found in SAFe. When I’m not optimizing pipelines or maintaining a family business’s infrastructure, I make sure my automation is reliable enough to keep my personal time uninterrupted.
