Greetings and welcome! I'm Christofher, a passionate certified Site Reliability Engineer and enthusiast of AWS Serverless services. I navigate the world of IT with enthusiasm, crafting seamless solutions using tools like CDKs, Go, Terraform, AWS, and occasionally Ansible. Automation is my go-to approach, as it speeds up tasks and boosts efficiency.
In my spare time, I am busy with my startup company called LookinLabs, where as a CEO, Site Reliability Engineer and Mentor, i am responsible for leading my team, providing guidance and support for students and writing code for our projects. Additionally i am excited of learning programming in Go, by contributing to open-source projects like "Gin-Gonic" or "Web-Check by Lissy", investing in the cryptocurrency world and stocks, reading books about psychology, business and software architecture.
I'm open to challenges and opportunities, so feel free to contact me for IT consultancy services. It doesn't matter which topic you have in mind, whether it's about hosting a website somewhere, making decisions about moving your infrastructure from on-premises to the cloud or providing courses for your employees. I'm here to help you! I want to emphasize that I prioritize finding the most cost-efficient solutions possible for your company. Remember, there are no impossible tasks, only tasks that need to be solved. Also there are no expensive clouds, there are only poorly optimized solutions.
My journey in IT started when I was 18 years old as a simple system administrator. In 5 years, I moved from system administrator to Senior Site Reliability Engineer. Behind the scenes, I did a lot of work, built many projects, learned a lot of things, failed numerous times, but never gave up. So, one of my proudest accomplishments was transitioning seven on-premise Kubernetes clusters from manual setups to fully automated, cloud-compatible systems in just four months. It was a significant undertaking, but I successfully executed it!
My experience has shown me that the best way to learn is through discipline. When faced with numerous failures, one should not surrender, but rather examine the situation from a different perspective and deduce accordingly. There's nothing that's impossible; you just need to find the right approach to solve the problem. Good examples of this are startup unicorns like Bolt, OpenAI, Figure, and Wallester. They encountered many failures, underwent multiple logo and company name changes, but ultimately found the path to success.
