Hi there, my name is Alex 👋

My journey into tech started with an early passion for Linux and open source — but it was Kubernetes and the cloud-native world that truly ignited my drive to build and operate scalable platforms. Since February 2022, I've been working professionally in Kubernetes cluster administration, development, and architecture, and I still get the same excitement from a new cluster as I did from my very first kubectl command.

Over the past years, I've also expanded into cloud architecture, contributing to and designing OpenStack landscapes. These days, my daily toolkit includes Go, Python, Bash, Terraform, and Ansible.

I'm always on the lookout for new challenges and technologies — because the best platform is always the next one.

@Payback159

My first goal is to reach $50 / month. I've been contributing to open source for years alongside my day job, and now I want to shift more of my time and energy toward it. This milestone would cover my project running costs — hosting, domains, and tooling — and prove that this path is viable. It's the first stone to get rolling, so I can invest even more into the projects and community I care about.
