Hello, I'm
Gilbert Mutai
Designing, deploying, and managing cloud-native solutions with Docker, Kubernetes, and cutting-edge DevOps practices. Focused on automation, CI/CD pipelines, and resilient systems that scale.
About
What I Do
My Approach
I believe in automation first — reducing manual work, improving consistency, and accelerating delivery through Infrastructure as Code.
Every system should be observable, scalable, and resilient. I prioritize monitoring, logging, and proactive incident response.
Continuous learning drives my work. Whether it's new tools, best practices, or emerging cloud technologies, I stay current and share knowledge through technical writing and mentorship.
Core Technologies
Technical Writing
I share insights, tutorials, and lessons learned on my blog, covering cloud architecture, DevOps workflows, and automation best practices.
Mentorship & Community
Passionate about helping others grow in their DevOps journey. I mentor aspiring engineers and contribute to knowledge-sharing communities.
