I build tools that make managing infrastructure easier to run and safer to scale. Day-to-day I’m in the Terraform and Go trenches, maintaining widely used modules, authoring providers, and contributing to Terraform Best Practices and Terraform Proverbs. Beyond infrastructure, I architect data engineering pipelines and specialize in building scalable ML/AI platforms for companies in the cloud. I live in the CLI, am the creator of Red-Teaming TTPs, and am a MITRE, OWASP, and Debian contributor!

Infra Proverbs
Published on 17 Dec 2025
Simple, Clear, Maintainable
Clear is better than clever.
Automate the toil, not the thinking.
If you can’t see it, you can’t fix it.
Serve the workload, not the infrastructure.
Today’s shortcut is tomorrow’s incident.
An untested backup is no backup at all.
Roll out in waves, not floods.
Hope is not a strategy.
Be careful what you measure, because that’s exactly what you’ll get.
The best postmortem is the one you act on.
Tribal knowledge dies with the tribe.
The best infrastructure is the kind you can forget about.
