m. safa demirdağ
I'm a System Administrator and DevOps Engineer who enjoys both building and operating infrastructure. I work across virtualization platforms (vSphere, Proxmox, KVM), Linux systems, and cloud environments like GCP and Kubernetes (RKE2/Rancher). I design CI/CD pipelines and deploy all kinds of projects, from my own experiments to client work and production systems. I like the full cycle: code, deploy, monitor, improve.
