Hey, I’m Rudy
Senior Systems Engineer at Automattic, helping keep WordPress.com and Tumblr running for hundreds of millions of sites. I write about infrastructure at scale, developer career growth, and building things for fun.
What I Write About
Infrastructure at Scale
Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, networking, SRE practices, and lessons from running infrastructure that serves hundreds of millions of users.
Career Growth
From Navy veteran to senior engineer — insights on career transitions, salary negotiation, mentoring, and the soft skills that matter most in tech.
Building Things
Indie game dev with raylib and C, game jams, side projects, and the joy of making things just because you can. Build in public, learn in public.
