How I work
The plan first
Infrastructure changes go through Terraform. You can read the plan before anything is applied.
A release you can run
The pipeline builds, tests, and ships. Your team should be able to use it without me in the room.
The bill
I look at what you're paying for and not using, then right-size it or turn it off.
Notes for the next change
I leave the modules, the alarms, and a short note on what to patch.
AWS Community Builder
I write about AWS, and I'm in the Community Builder program.
