About Me
Senior Backend & DevOps engineer focused on making systems reliable. I build Python-driven tools on Linux, Kubernetes, and CI/CD to keep distributed systems healthy.
I like simplifying environments and release pipelines so teams can ship and operate confidently. Recent work: platform tooling for a Flux-managed Kubernetes microservice stack on the U.S. Space Force’s PTES program.
My projects and dashboards run on my local k3s: see scm.bstein.dev and metrics.bstein.dev.

SummaryTitan Lab
atlas + oceanusThe Titan Lab is my 26-node (and growing) homelab with a production mindset: security, monitoring, and repeatable changes. The core is Atlas, a GitOps-managed k3s cluster where services are reconciled by Flux.
Atlas is my attempt to fully replace all online services that I need or use with self-hosted versions. I care deeply about security both for the lab and the cluster and personally. My first hosted services was VaultWarder but now the cluster hosts everything from email to ai. In my freetime, I'm always working on Atlas with small services or organization improvements to make it better and cleaner and cooler.
Oceanus is intentionally separated host for validator workloads while still feeding data back into the same observability stack. SUI is a crypto currency I follow and believe in and so Oceanus is in my lab and is dedicated hardware to extend their infrastructure and make the SUI project more resilient.
