Running distributed systems at scale — the stuff that breaks at 3am, the config you misread, and the runbook you forgot to write.
Kubernetes & containers — cluster ops, scheduling, storage and the edge cases
Networking & service mesh — Istio, Cilium, BGP, eBPF and how traffic actually flows
Observability — metrics, tracing, logging and systems you can actually debug
GitOps & IaC — Argo CD, Flux, Terraform and making drift a first-class concern

LLMs · Agents · MLOps
The infrastructure shift is real and it’s breaking assumptions we spent a decade building. What it takes to run models in production without destroying your GPU budget.
LLMs in production — model serving, latency, cost and the prompt engineering rabbit holes
Agentic systems — multi-agent orchestration, tool use, evaluation and failure modes
MLOps & model pipelines — Kubeflow, Ray, training infra and the ops side of ML
GPU infrastructure — CUDA, ROCm, scheduling and the hardware layer under the hype
Software Engineering
CS · DevOps · Open Source
The craft underneath the tools — computer science fundamentals that still matter, DevOps practices that actually reduce toil, and honest takes on open source.
Computer science — algorithms, data structures, systems design and when they bite you
DevOps & SRE — reliability engineering, incident response, toil reduction and on-call culture
Open source — contributing, maintaining, the politics and the genuine value
Software design — architecture patterns, API design and making the right trade-offs

Homelab · Lab Notes · Side Projects
The stuff that happens off the clock — homelab experiments, weekend projects, and the random rabbit holes that teach you more than any course ever could.
Homelab — self-hosted services, hardware experiments and network setups
Side projects — weekend builds, prototypes and things that may never ship
Automation — scripts, bots and making the computer do the boring stuff
Random deep dives — the tangents that turn into obsessions

Istio Ambient Mesh: The Service Mesh Reimagined
The sidecar model had a good run. Istio Ambient changes the architecture entirely. Here's how it works and why it matters.
