Carrasco515/README.md

Hi, I'm David Carrasco

Junior DevOps / Cloud / Platform Engineering enthusiast from Switzerland

I'm building my way into DevOps and Platform Engineering through hands-on projects. I run a self-hosted homelab and a Kubernetes lab where I practise the full delivery path — containers, CI/CD, GitOps and monitoring — and document how everything works. My goal is a junior role in DevOps, Cloud or Platform Engineering, and I focus on practical, reproducible projects over pure theory.

Tech Stack

Linux Docker Kubernetes Helm Kustomize Argo CD GitHub Actions Python FastAPI Prometheus Grafana Git

Featured Projects

KubeBase Platform

Kubernetes-focused DevOps lab that takes a small FastAPI app through a realistic cloud-native delivery path: Docker → Kubernetes → Kustomize → Helm → GitOps with Argo CD → Observability.

  • Stack: FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes (Minikube), Kustomize, Helm, Argo CD, Prometheus metrics, Grafana, GitHub Actions
  • Shows: manifests with probes and resource limits, dev/prod overlays, a Helm chart, a synced Argo CD Application, and CI
  • Why it matters: it covers the core GitOps workflow used in real platform teams — declarative config, environment separation and automated delivery

CloudBase Lab

Self-hosted DevOps homelab running a private cloud stack with Docker Compose. This is where I practise day-2 operations: monitoring, backups, restore testing and documentation as code.

  • Stack: Docker Compose, Traefik (reverse proxy, local HTTPS), Nextcloud, MariaDB, Redis, Uptime Kuma, Portainer, Vaultwarden, GitHub Actions
  • Shows: automated backups with verification, an isolated restore drill, safe opt-in updates, and operations documentation
  • Why it matters: reliability work — backup/restore, monitoring and runbooks — is the everyday reality of operating infrastructure

My Server

My first Dockerized FastAPI project, covering Docker and Kubernetes fundamentals.

  • Stack: Python, FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes basics
  • Shows: where I started — containerizing an app and deploying it for the first time
  • Why it matters: it documents the learning path that led to the two labs above

Current Focus

  • Improving Kubernetes skills
  • Building practical DevOps labs
  • Learning cloud and platform engineering workflows
  • Preparing for junior DevOps / cloud roles

Learning Roadmap

  • CKAD, then CKA (planned certifications — not yet obtained)
  • Cloud fundamentals
  • Terraform basics
  • More CI/CD and observability practice
