Hello! I'm Raul Kist,

I build resilient systems and occasionally wrangle clouds.
Side Projects
When I'm not taming clouds in production, I tinker with technology that makes life easier, workflows more efficient, and occasionally, lets me laugh at cat GIFs on demand.

About Me
I wrangle distributed systems, keep cloud bills from exploding, and occasionally convince 🐳 containers to behave. My happy place is the intersection of Site Reliability Engineering, Developer Experience, and pragmatically elegant code.
When not staring at dashboards, I'm usually answering yet another "why does the cat do that?" from Bento, my chaos-monkey feline companion who has taught me more about unpredictable system behavior than any production incident ever could.
