HEY, I'M
JESSICA.

I'm a DevOps engineer based in Europe. I spend my days writing Terraform, breaking Kubernetes clusters (and then fixing them), and making sure deployments don't wake anyone up at 2am.

Currently I'm the Lead DevOps Engineer at Patara Labs in a Web3 company. Before that I was at Notus Labs also a Web3 company. But the thing I'm most proud of? The six projects on this site, built over six weeks, each one publicly documented, each one a chance to learn something new.

I'm AWS certified (Cloud Practitioner + Solutions Architect Associate) and currently studying for the DevOps Professional. I also write every single week on Dev.to because teaching is how I learn best.

When I'm not automating things, I'm probably on LinkedIn, responding to every comment and reshare. Come say hi,I'd love to hear what you're building.
