Hey there, I'm Codey Nham Chan Vi, your 1-on-1 Dev(Sec)Ops Coach.¶
So, you're looking to learn more about me. Well, I'm a Senior Dev(Sec)Ops Engineer at Tekos Interactive, and honestly, I love what I do. Basically, I'm all about making sure your systems are not only running smoothly but also super secure. I've been tinkering with IT for over 16 years, and the last 4+ years have been full of Pure DevSecOps magic!
What Gets Me Excited?¶
Honestly, I get a kick out of building stuff that just works. You know, those systems are always up and secure and just make life easier. Here’s what I’m good at:
- Automating almost everything: Because who has time for manual work? But need to decide what to automate and what not to automate.
- Making deployments a breeze: CI/CD pipelines? That's my jam.
- Security from the get-go: I weave security into every step; GitOps helps me most.
- Containers and Kubernetes: Think of me as a container whisperer.
- Configuration Management: I love monolith.
My Tech Toolbox¶
- Cloud Stuff: I speak the AWS language now and am learning to speak Azure and GCP.
- Containers: Docker and Kubernetes are my best friends.
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and Terraspace keep things organized.
- Immutable Deployment: GitOps by ArgoCD keeps my brain free.
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions and ArgoCD make life easy.
- Security Tools: SAST and DAST? Check!
- Keeping an Eye On Things: The ELK stack helps me stay on top of everything.
- Automation: Python, Bash, Ansible, and Packer are my trusty sidekicks.
- Compliance: I make sure we play by the rules.
