Raw Blame History

Alexa Amundson

Senior DevOps Engineer

Summary

Needed production infrastructure without a team or budget. Built a self-healing 7-node fleet from Raspberry Pis, automated 52 operational tasks, and deployed 99 cloud services — solo, from scratch.

Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Senior DevOps Engineer | 2025–Present

The Problem: Zero Infrastructure, Zero Team

No existing infrastructure, no ops team, no vendor contracts — needed production-grade systems running 48+ domains on day one
Solved by designing a hybrid fleet: 5 Pi nodes + 2 cloud VMs + Cloudflare edge, all connected via WireGuard mesh VPN — total cost under $700 hardware
Result: 256 systemd services running across fleet, 48 Nginx reverse proxy sites, 14 Docker containers — all managed by one person

The Bet: Self-Healing Over Manual Ops

Fleet nodes crash, services fail, temperatures spike — manual monitoring doesn't scale for a solo operator running 256 services
Built autonomy scripts: heartbeat every 60 seconds, heal cycle every 5 minutes, automatic service restarts on failure
Detected a node cooking at 73.8°C from a runaway Ollama loop — auto-isolated the process, dropped temp to 57.9°C without downtime

The Multiplier: 212 CLI Tools

Every repeated task became a tool. 212 CLI tools (121 MB) in ~/bin — deploy, probe, audit, sync, report
GitHub-to-Gitea relay syncs 207 repos every 30 minutes. Daily KPI collection tracks 60+ metrics across 10 data sources
99 Cloudflare Pages, 23 D1 databases, 47 KV namespaces, 11 R2 buckets — all deployed and maintained through CLI automation

Technical Skills

Linux/Debian, Docker Swarm, systemd, Nginx, WireGuard, Cloudflare, GitHub Actions, Bash, Python
