Learn from my mistakes

Confessions of a Recovering Over-Engineer

If my experience can save you time, headaches, or a 2 a.m. incident, then this site is doing its job.

I built this site to share what I’ve learned in the trenches—real-world lessons from building, breaking, and securing software systems at scale. My goal is to help others navigate the ever-evolving landscape of development, cloud infrastructure, and DevSecOps by offering practical insights, hard-earned fixes, and repeatable strategies. Whether it’s speeding up delivery, hardening pipelines, or untangling process messes, I believe a stronger, faster, and more secure software development lifecycle isn’t just possible—it’s necessary.
