1/1 READY
- Location: Warsaw, Poland
I was there when the config burned.
In the age before observability, chaos reigned. The servers howled, and nothing scaled but entropy.
Then kube cattle were born — simple, nameless beasts born of children’s games. But they multiplied. And their hunger grew vast.
Years passed. The sun revolved the Earth. Then the Earth revolved the Cloud.
I grew tired of debugging in darkness. I longed for light. And logs. Preferably structured. That’s when I began preaching — not loudly, just… declaratively. One apply at a time.
I walked among DevOps tribes, where bash begat shell, and shell begat pain. To them I brought ConfigMaps, and Secrets hidden in plain sight.
Then came the mysterious YAML — a language too holy to lint — inscribed deep within the API’s own heart.
Through toil and merge, the infrastructure became manifest. Pods floated on the waters. Deployments begat replicas. Helm bore Charts. Git begat Ops. What was once dev spun to prod. And every service had a name — and every name resolved. Unless external DNS was involved.
And the Preachers said: “Behold, our logs streameth clean.”
Thus began the age of the declarative. We once dwelled in darkness. Now, we scale planetary in full light.

I’m a platform-minded DevOps Engineer specializing in Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud-native automation. With roots in system administration, I enjoy understanding how systems work under the hood and designing reliable, secure, and scalable platforms based on that knowledge. I work extensively with Terraform, Azure, k8s, and modern CI/CD workflows, and I’m passionate about staying current with evolving cloud-native technologies and continuously learning new skills. Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler who loves exploring the world whenever I get the chance.

I’ve been passionate about Computers since childhood. During my early days in the industry I came across free and open-source operating systems of Linux, which I’m still, till the present day, a great fan of. Being a Linux user for more than a decade, I’ve changed that passion to a profession. With an insatiable appetite to learn and readily support new technologies, I’m seeking for new challenges on daily basis. Challenges that make me a better professional. On the road to perfection, my scope of interests stays wide, including Unix and Linux operating systems, all aspects of networking, including IT security, down to programming. I can fairly say I’m a happy man, cause what I do for a living is my truly passion.
