Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer
Complex systems.
Clear thinking.
I’m Jakub Noga. I design and operate infrastructure, automate the repetitive work, and make production systems easier to understand.
01 / About
An operational perspective.
My work spans Linux servers, Kubernetes platforms, cloud infrastructure and the systems that connect them. I approach infrastructure through the practical work of deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting it.
That means reproducible configuration, useful monitoring and careful upgrades. I care about what happens after deployment: how a system fails, how we find the cause, and how we make it easier to operate next time.
02 / Technical expertise
The systems behind the service.
From bare metal to application delivery. Technologies grouped by the work they help me do.

03 / Engineering approach
Built with operations in mind.
Reliability
Plan for failure, understand dependencies and make recovery part of the design.
Automation
Make repeatable work reproducible. Keep configuration explicit and changes reviewable.
Observability
Collect signals that explain system behavior and help the person handling an incident.
Security
Treat patching, least privilege and secrets management as ongoing operational work.
Pragmatism
Choose the simplest solution that meets the requirements and can be maintained by the team.
