AI-Assisted Support Automation | CI/CD Reliability | Python

I build reliable support and operations workflows with Python, APIs, CI/CD, human approval, and evidence-driven escalation.

My background combines enterprise technical support, Linux infrastructure, incident ownership, and developer-platform troubleshooting. My public projects use synthetic data and standalone implementations so I can demonstrate product thinking and engineering practices without exposing employer or customer information.

Selected Projects

A production-shaped SRE and developer-platform project for ephemeral GitHub Actions runner fleets:

  • OpenTofu configuration for a temporary AWS EKS lab
  • Kubernetes, Helm, and Actions Runner Controller configuration
  • Queue, startup, cleanup, and maximum-age SLOs
  • Prometheus metrics and alert rules
  • Capacity, cost, and incident evidence
  • Read-only MCP tools for fleet inspection and recommendations
  • Deterministic burst, capacity-loss, image-failure, and API-degradation tests

Current status: validated local and infrastructure scaffold; cloud deployment evidence has not yet been captured.

Tested Python tools and synthetic case-study patterns for:

  • Evidence-led incident triage and next diagnostic steps
  • Engineering-ready escalation quality checks
  • Clear separation of observations, hypotheses, and root cause
  • Incident communication, postmortems, and operational documentation

A read-only Python CLI that converts Linux fleet inventory into repeatable operational checks and guarded server-decommission plans:

  • Patching, backup, monitoring, encryption, and OS-support readiness checks
  • Explicit validation, prioritized findings, and JSON output
  • Safety gates for approvals, dependencies, recovery evidence, and production
  • Synthetic infrastructure data, unit tests, and CI-friendly exit codes

Policy-gated, approval-bound, staged Ansible rollouts for Linux fleets, shown through an SSSD directory migration:

  • Planner that runs a staging canary first and never splits HA pairs into one wave
  • Policy gate for wave size, freeze windows, readiness, and staging-before-production
  • Approvals bound to a plan digest, with no self-approval and in-order wave apply
  • Ansible role with automatic rollback, tested by Molecule on Rocky Linux 9 and Ubuntu 24.04

A Python CLI for repeatable CI/CD security and reliability reviews:

  • Least-privilege permissions and immutable action references
  • Unsafe untrusted-input and privileged pull-request patterns
  • Timeouts, concurrency, OIDC, and reusable-workflow boundaries
  • Human-readable and JSON output for local checks and CI

A dependency-free Python CLI that checks whether a support escalation still has a clear path to a customer outcome:

  • Technical and customer-impact ownership, update cadence, and OOO coverage
  • Business-day engineering response targets by severity
  • Inactivity closures that are mislabeled as customer recovery
  • Reopened escalations without a fresh technical decision

A gh CLI extension for a fast, read-only first look at a GitHub Enterprise Server support bundle: disk, memory and OOM, failed services, and proxy or connectivity errors.

How I Work

  • Make the problem testable. Start with immutable evidence, define the failure boundary, and distinguish facts from hypotheses.
  • Keep people in control. Require explicit review before generated content changes a customer-facing workflow.
  • Build for reuse. Convert recurring investigations into tested tools, small reproductions, and practical documentation.
  • Measure reliability. Evaluate expected behavior, unsafe claims, latency, and cost rather than relying on a polished demonstration alone.
  • Improve the handoff. Give engineering a focused question, the evidence needed to answer it, and a clear customer-impact statement.
  • Communicate uncertainty honestly. A useful outcome can be a bounded next step, not a premature root-cause claim.
