Portrait of Pinku Daimari

Hi, I'm Pinku Daimari.

I design and run cloud infrastructure that stays up at 3am so nobody has to page me about it. Cloud architecture, DevOps automation, and the occasional heroic rm -rf recovery.

A little more context

I'm a cloud architect and DevOps engineer who got into this line of work the way most of us do: something broke, I got curious about why, and the curiosity never really stopped. These days that curiosity is pointed at making infrastructure boring — in the good way, where nothing pages you at 3am and deployments are a non-event.

I work across the stack, from provisioning and networking to the CI/CD pipelines and observability that make a system trustworthy, not just running. I like tools that do one thing well, documentation that future-me will actually read, and postmortems with more curiosity than blame.

~/career.log

How I got here

// abbreviated changelog, sensitive details redacted

v0.1

First login to a terminal

Discovered Linux, broke something within the hour, learned more from the fix than from anything that went right.

v0.4

Uptime became personal

Moved into hosting and infrastructure work, where "it's down" is a full sentence and a call to action.

v0.9

Went cloud-native

Containers, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD stopped being buzzwords and became the default way anything ships.

latest

Now

Architecting resilient, automated systems for teams who would rather build their product than babysit servers.

approach.md

How I work

01 —

Automate the boring parts

If I do something by hand twice, the third time it becomes a script or a pipeline step.

02 —

Design for failure

Things break. Systems should degrade gracefully and tell you exactly why, fast.

03 —

Document like future-me is grumpy

Because he is, and he will not remember why that one flag is set the way it is.

04 —

Security isn't a checkbox

It's a habit — least privilege, patched systems, and secrets that actually stay secret.

Got infrastructure that needs a grown-up?

Whether it's a full cloud migration or one server that's held together with hope, I'm happy to take a look.
