DevOps Engineer | Blockchain Explorer | Kubernetes WizardHey there! I’m Brad, a DevOps engineer with a passion for making complex infrastructure sing. I’ve been deep in the world of Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and blockchain since 2017—ever since CryptoKitties caught my eye and I dove headfirst into the Ethereum ecosystem.I love automating all the things, whether it’s setting up seamless GitLab CI pipelines, managing Ethereum nodes, or running geo-redundant hosting for Livepeer (yes, that’s part of my homelab). I’m always looking for ways to make systems faster, more reliable, and way more efficient.My adventures in blockchain have taken me down some wild rabbit holes, from experimenting with solidity to tinkering with MEV strategies. Did I get rich? Nope! But I learned a ton and developed a deep love for all things decentralized and distributed.When I’m not building cool infrastructure or mentoring junior engineers, you’ll find me working on cutting-edge projects in the blockchain world, always looking to push the limits of what’s possible. Let’s connect if you want to geek out about DevOps, blockchain, or just talk about whose homelab is better.
