Automation engineering for calm systems
I build correctness-first automation: CI/CD pipelines, SRE automation, and reliability guards that don’t silently fail.
Idempotent jobs, safe rollbacks, and automation that can run twice without breaking things.
Metrics and logs that show what ran, what failed, and what to fix first.
On-call friendly checklists so pipeline failures don’t become day-long debugging sessions.
The problem
Automation fails quietly: jobs succeed while doing the wrong thing, scripts retry unsafely, and pipelines become flaky as soon as load or change increases.
- Flaky CI/CD and brittle deploy scripts
- Retries that create duplicates or drift state
- Low visibility: no clear owner, metrics, or runbooks
Outcomes
The goal is boring, repeatable execution — with clear signals when it’s not.
- Reduced flakes and fewer rollbacks
- Idempotent automation (safe to re-run)
- Actionable telemetry + a runbook for on-call

Pricing (typical)
Most work fits one of these lanes. If you just need clarity, start with the audit.
