01about

I make infrastructure boring.

Daniel Sarpong, arms crossed, in a white shirt

I'm a DevOps and Platform Engineer at AmaliTech. Day to day, that means AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and the monitoring that tells me when something's off before anyone else notices.

On my own time I tinker with Raspberry Pi and embedded hardware. Different scale, same habit: I want systems that are predictable, automated, and easy to reason about.

40%
less downtime through automated CI/CD
