Hi, I'm Herbert

I'm a DevOps engineer focused on automation and observability who enjoys solving complex automation challenges. I focus on reducing operational overhead and eliminating monitoring blind spots by building reliable pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and scalable container platforms to accelerate delivery and improve system resilience.

On-premises pricing

On-premises pricing

Pricing of on-premises services based on cloud pricing

This project was created for a company that wanted to know how much their on-premises services would cost based on cloud pricing models. The goal was to determine which services were more cost-effective on premises and which were better to migrate to the cloud. For that, I created a fully automated system that retrieves service metrics, calculates costs, and generates reports and graphs based on actual AWS, Azure, and GCP pricing to help with decision making.

Fully automated backup and versioning of network device configurations

This project involved creating a fully automated system for backing up and versioning a large inventory of network devices. The goal was to ensure that all configurations were regularly backed up and could be easily restored in case of failure or misconfiguration. The system also included versioning capabilities, allowing for easy rollback to previous configurations if needed.
Homelab

Homelab

My personal homelab

It's my largest and most complex personal project, which I have maintained for five years. Currently it's a cluster running multiple services. My goal was to create a system that I can build, destroy, and rebuild from scratch to test infrastructure patterns, automation approaches, and high-availability architectures. I have learned many valuable lessons from this project.
