About Me
I’m Dami Ola, a platform focused engineer working across infrastructure, automation, and system reliability. My work sits at the intersection of Linux, Windows, cloud infrastructure, and the operational systems that support production environments.
I like understanding how systems work under the hood. I enjoy deploying tools, following the paths between services, and learning from failures so I can automate away the parts that cause the most friction.
Why This Website Exists
I built this website to document what I’m learning by doing.
Most of my work involves building environments, breaking them, fixing them, and then writing down exactly what happened. This includes infrastructure provisioning, identity and authentication flows, CI/CD pipelines, cloud networking, automation scripts, and lab experiments.
Writing helps me slow down my thinking, solidify concepts, and spot gaps in my understanding. If the notes help someone else along the way, that’s a bonus.
How I Learn and Build
I learn best by building and breaking systems.
That usually means:
- Setting up full environments end to end
- Introducing failure intentionally
- Troubleshooting from logs, metrics, and behavior
- Automating repeatable tasks once the system is understood
- Documenting both what worked and what broke
A lot of the content here is shaped by production realities, even when I’m working in a lab.
What You’ll Find Here
On this site, you’ll find:
- Infrastructure and DevOps labs
- Notes on Linux, cloud, automation, and reliability engineering
- Step-by-step walkthroughs of systems I’ve built
- Troubleshooting writeups and lessons learned
This site is a technical journal. It reflects how I think, how I learn, and how I approach engineering problems.
