Athreyas. Keeping large systems boring.

I build things, break them, and then write down what happened. The order varies.

Most of it runs on a small pile of hardware in my house that I am unreasonably fond of — a couple of services, a proxy in front of them, and a private network holding the whole thing together. Some of it is even useful.

By day I am a Site Reliability Engineer — fifteen years of keeping global infrastructure upright, most recently the zero-trust security platform at Zscaler. The interesting half of that job is making sure nobody notices it.
