01. About Me
Hello! I'm Russell, a DevOps Engineer based in Houston, TX. I graduated from the University of Houston in December 2024 with a B.S. in Computer Science.
I love building tools that people actually use. Whether it's automation scripts, Discord bots, internal dashboards, or infrastructure setup, I take pride in crafting solutions that make people's lives easier. It's the same satisfaction I get from stringing badminton rackets or coaching players on the court - knowing I've helped someone improve or made their day a little easier.
Currently, I'm at Stellar Cyber working with Kubernetes, Linux, and security tooling while building internal automation tools for my team.
Technologies I work with:
- Kubernetes
- Linux
- Docker
- JavaScript
- Python
- Bash/Shell
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- React
- Git
- Postman
- Jira
