I keep validator fleets alive. As the DevOps behind AuraNode, HexaNode, TropicalCrypto, SinceDAO, and Rektanalisis DAO, I automate node operations, monitoring, and incident response so the networks I run never blink.
My job is uptime. I treat validators like production systems that can never go down: everything is codified, observed, and rehearsed before it ever ships to mainnet. If a node fails at 3am, the automation should recover before anyone wakes up.
I care about the unglamorous parts most people skip: key custody, graceful upgrades, backpressure, and honest post mortems. Reliable networks are built there, not in the demo.
Own the validator infrastructure end to end: provisioning, upgrades, monitoring, and on call. Built the automation that lets a small team run a growing fleet without heroics.
Design deployment pipelines and observability for multiple networks. Standardized how nodes are shipped so every DAO runs the same tested, reproducible stack.
Ran mixed cloud and bare metal environments, learned the hard way why backups, runbooks, and boring deploys matter more than clever ones.
A Terraform and Ansible pipeline that brings a hardened validator from bare host to synced and signing in one run, keys sealed and monitoring wired.
A Prometheus and Grafana mesh across every network I operate, with alerting tuned so pages mean something and dashboards tell the truth at a glance.
A rehearsed upgrade flow with automated failover between redundant signers, so protocol upgrades ship without missing a block.
Scheduled failure injection against staging fleets to prove the recovery automation actually works before mainnet ever needs it.
Available for validator operations, infrastructure automation, and SRE consulting. Let's talk.
