Hey, I’m Derron

CrashLoopBackOff is just a starting point.

Senior DevOps and SRE engineer with 11+ years building and operating infrastructure at scale — currently focused on government cloud applications, FedRAMP compliance, and the infrastructure patterns that make distributed systems actually reliable.

By day I work on EKS clusters, Aurora PostgreSQL, and multi-account AWS deployments. By night I run a homelab with a 3-node Proxmox cluster (100 vCPUs, 564GB RAM, 61TB storage) that I use to test, learn, and occasionally break things in ways that would be catastrophic in production.
