About Me

I’m an infrastructure and AI enthusiast focused on cloud-native technologies, machine learning integration, and DevOps automation. This blog serves as a space to document real-world experiences with Kubernetes, AI/ML model serving, and modern CI/CD workflows.

  • Kubernetes Ecosystem: From managing lightweight K3s clusters to orchestrating distributed workloads on MicroK8s, I explore how to build scalable, resilient infrastructure using open-source tools.

  • AI/ML Integrations: Demonstrating how models like LLaMA, GPT4All, and Langchain4j are deployed and optimized using platforms like Kubeflow, with a focus on enabling real-time AI capabilities in Kubernetes-native environments.

  • CI/CD Automation: Sharing the design of robust GitLab- and Jenkins-powered pipelines for hybrid and edge deployments, aligned with best practices in software delivery and MLOps.

Rooted in a passion for open-source and continuous learning, this blog aims to offer practical insights, lessons learned, and hands-on guides for developers and engineers navigating the intersection of infrastructure, AI, and automation.
