About Me
Damon
Security & Infrastructure Engineer
I'm a cybersecurity and infrastructure engineer with a background in technical support. That support background means I actually know how things break in the real world — not just how they look in architecture diagrams.
This blog is my public notebook. When I solve something gnarly — a 502 that only appears under load, a Docker container bleeding memory at 3am, an NGINX config that "worked on staging" — I write it up. Future me (and hopefully you) will thank me.
I believe in boring, reliable infrastructure. The best on-call shift is the one where nothing happens.
