Víctor Díaz

Hi, I'm Víctor 👋🏻

I work in DevOps and cloud architecture. These days I'm a Cloud Architect on a banking project, which mostly means reviewing low-level designs, deciding how workloads should run on Kubernetes and OpenShift, and checking that the enterprise storage underneath actually fits the platform on top of it. Before that I spent years building the pipelines and infrastructure I now spend my time reviewing.

Most of what I know came from trying things nobody asked me to try. I usually test tools that may never make it into a project, and keep a home server running as an excuse to learn in practice instead of in theory. It's the fastest way I've found to stay current without waiting for work to force it.

Day to day that's Kubernetes and OpenShift, Terraform and Helm for anything that shouldn't be clicked by hand, CI/CD with Jenkins, GitHub Actions or Tekton, ArgoCD when I want GitOps, and Grafana with Prometheus so I hear about problems before someone else does. A fair amount of Python and shell in between. I'm CKA certified.
