Hi, I’m @kallakata! ✋
I currently work as a Platform/DevOps Engineer at @CatoNetworks with a keen interest in cybersecurity, penetration testing, observability/monitoring, Infrastracture-as-Code, and overall virtually anything related to managing infrastructure and large-scale automation. I also try to embed security mindset into whole process.
As of now, my primary focus is SRE & DevOps, especially from platform engineering standpoint when managing dozens of environments reliably and securely is necessary. Predominantly in Azure using Terraform and Golang. Apart from my regular tech stack, I am broadening my knowledge in C#/.NET in Azure ecosystem, on-premise automation and Pulumi.
Despite trying to understand the layers below the abstractions, my passion is aimed at cloud computing (AWS, GCP & Azure), distributed systems (Kubernetes & orchestration), infrastructure management (Terraform & Pulumi) and cloud-native applications along with their respective philosophy.
This drove me to learn Golang, dabble in Rust and play with distributed tracing, all of which I use to build APIs and highly available, decoupled microservices along with internal tools for everyday use. I also try to embrace SRE principles, best practices, and support/contribute to meaningful open-source initiatives.
These days, my go-to languages in no particular order are usually:
- Go
- Python
- C#
Lately, I have been dabbling in LLMs, MCPs, agents, agent orchestration and various local machine learning models, as well as the surrounding ecosystem around it.
