Hi there, I’m Ravi

Senior Systems Administrator @ New College of Florida

I design, deploy, and maintain resilient systems that keep campus technology running smoothly.
My work spans infrastructure automation, security hardening, and reliable service delivery for academic and research environments.

Areas of Focus

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Ansible
• Automation & Scripting: Python, Bash, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines
• Systems & Cloud: Linux (RHEL, Debian), VMware, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes
• Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana
• Security & Compliance: Identity management, least-privilege models, SIEM

What I Value

• Open, maintainable infrastructure as documentation
• Simplicity in automation — minimal magic, maximum clarity
• Sharing knowledge that helps teams become self-sufficient
• Building systems that can survive both outages and interns 😄

Current Interests

• Expanding use of Terraform modules for multi-environment management
• Integrating GitOps workflows for infrastructure version control
• Exploring zero-trust access models and secure secrets management
• Building lightweight K3s clusters for homelab and production workloads
• Enhancing Ansible automation for configuration drift and compliance
