$ whoami → Lead DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer · Budapest · 13+ years
I build cloud platforms that stay boring, and I automate everything that doesn't.
- Leading cloud infrastructure at Protex AI: technical direction, the important PRs, and still writing infra code every week
- Building and operating planet-express, a production-grade Talos Kubernetes homelab with 100% IaC and an ADR for every non-obvious choice
- Contributing docs and Hungarian translations to Home Assistant; mentoring and guest lectures when asked
- Interviewing regularly: 70+ technical and hiring manager interviews
AWS (ECS, VPC, IAM, RDS) · OpenTofu + Terragrunt · Ansible · Jenkins -> GitHub Actions -> GitLab CI · Datadog · Snyk / Aikido · Python / Bash · Linux
Kubernetes and its observability stack, properly, bottom-up: planet-express runs Talos + ArgoCD + Cilium + Kyverno + kube-prometheus-stack, operated like production and documented with an ADR for every non-obvious choice. Not my day-job platform yet; that's exactly what the lab is for.
Bouldering · DIY electronics and an ESPHome fleet · mechanical keyboards (QMK) · convincing people Terragrunt was the right call
