Engineering Manager · Platform Engineering & SRE

Hi! My name is Piotr, i'm a Senior Engineering Manager with 19 years in IT, the last 10 in leadership. Currently running Platform Engineering & SRE at a large enterprise - CI/CD infrastructure, Kubernetes, developer tooling, and the kind of cross-cutting problems that don't fit neatly into any product team's backlog.

This blog will be mostly field notes. Real problems, real solutions, no synthetic examples. When something took me a week to figure out or gave me that AHA! moment, I'm writing it down so the next person spends an afternoon instead.

Topics I write about: platform engineering, SRE, GitHub Actions, developer experience, and increasingly - how AI agents fit into infrastructure work.

My stack

Cloud Azure (primary), GCP
Orchestration k8s (AKS, GKE)
CI/CD Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions
Languages Python, Bash, Java, bit of Go (wish i had more time for it)
Observability ELK, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry
IDP Backstage
