I automate software delivery in on-premise environments — Jenkins, Ansible and ArgoCD — and I'm building self-hosted AI agents that run tasks with a human in the loop.

01About
I make shipping to production a non-event.
I'm Phearak, a DevOps Engineer focused on Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) — helping teams move code from commit to a reliable, running service.
I use Jenkins to handle CI and Ansible and Argo CD to deliver applications into Kubernetes environments. For smaller projects, I keep things simple with Jenkins and Ansible pipelines. For larger projects, Jenkins handles CI while Argo CD takes care of continuous delivery, ensuring that the cluster state stays aligned with Git and making rollbacks as simple as reverting a change.
Before becoming a DevOps Engineer, I spent time writing code during university and later while working at a ministry. That experience gave me an understanding of how developers think, build, and troubleshoot software, which has shaped the way I approach DevOps today.
More recently, I've been building a DevOps AI agent to help with my day-to-day tasks. It can connect to servers and execute tasks with explicit human approval, integrate with different monitoring tools, and access a knowledge base of internal documentation. The AI runs entirely in-house, keeping internal data within our own network while helping me troubleshoot issues, find information, and manage infrastructure more efficiently.

DevOps Engineer
ABA Bank·Full-time
Run application delivery and platform reliability across the primary data centre and the DR site, keeping the two consistent and releases invisible to users.
- Managed application environments in the DR site, keeping them consistent with the primary data centre so a failover is a non-event.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines for application delivery.
- Built centralised monitoring across the VM estate.
- Built centralised log aggregation for applications.
- Implemented zero-downtime deployment so releases land without a maintenance window.
- Deployed and maintained server inventory management tooling.
- Configured and tuned the web servers fronting the applications.
- Administered MongoDB replica sets for high availability and data resilience.
- Remediated server vulnerabilities as part of routine patching.
