AWS Azure GCP Terraform CI/CD & OIDC Identity & Access Kubernetes Linux Observability

I build cloud and platform foundations from scratch. As the founding infrastructure hire at Landchecker, I owned Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and platform practices with a free hand – turning manual, click-ops processes into versioned, peer-reviewed systems.

My day-to-day is Terraform across AWS, Azure and GCP, identity architecture across Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID, and CI/CD on Bitbucket Pipelines and GitHub Actions with OIDC-based authentication. I care about least-privilege by default, small blast radius, and infrastructure that is practical, supportable, and production-ready.

## cat principles.txt

  • Automation over documentation of manual steps.
  • Least privilege is a default, not an afterthought.
  • A working prototype beats a perfect design every time.
  • Infrastructure is code – it lives in version control or it does not exist.
  • Complexity is a liability. Justify every layer you add.
  • Self-hosted first when the operational overhead is worth the control.
