Hi, I'm Kyle M — a Staff Infrastructure Engineer based in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. I specialize in DevOps, Platform Engineering, and SRE (whatever it's called this week). I'm passionate about working with both hardware infrastructure and the code that orchestrates it all. Always learning, always building.
