Keeping systems calm, even when the room is not.

I'm a DevOps engineer based in Colombo, Sri Lanka, focused on building calm, reliable systems in environments that rarely are. I care deeply about automation, clarity, and making infrastructure behave predictably under pressure.

My work spans containerized applications, CI/CD pipelines, and production-grade Linux systems. Outside of work, scuba diving helps me reset — quiet environments tend to sharpen how I design noisy ones.

The Friday Rule

We do not deploy on Fridays. Courage is not a strategy.

DNS Law

It is always DNS. Even when it is not.

Automation Bias

Why do it manually in 5 minutes when automation takes 5 hours?
