DevOps Engineer @ Channel.io

Introduction

I'm a DevOps engineer at Channel.io, based in South Korea. I operate an on-premise Kubernetes cluster as a hobby and am interested in Computer Networks, Cloud Native, and building products.

I work hard every day to build reliable infrastructure:

  1. Scalable — grow capacity on demand without rearchitecting
    "You can use as much or as little capacity as you need, and scale in and out automatically" — AWS Well-Architected Framework
  2. Fault-tolerant — no single point of failure; degrade gracefully
    "Fail over to healthy resources… shifting traffic to remaining healthy resources" — AWS Reliability Pillar
  3. Guardrails — alerts, automated checks, and runbooks that prevent issues before they escalate
    "Turn your SLOs into actionable alerts… respond to problems before you consume too much of your error budget" — Google SRE Workbook
  4. Documentation (ADR) — record the why behind decisions, share context with the team, then commit and act
    "Each record describes a set of forces and a single decision in response to those forces" — Michael Nygard
