Ales Lerch
Writing organic posts about DevOps/SRE, infrastructure, home labs, and the occasional deep dive into macOS stuff.

Background

Started as an intern managing GitLab and CI/CD pipelines at Kiwi.com. After finishing a master’s degree I came back as a Python engineer, but eventually found my way back to infrastructure - which is where I belong.

Currently

DevOps/SRE engineer at Capital Markets Gateway, where I work on:

  • Kubernetes - managing AKS clusters at scale
  • Infrastructure as Code - Terraform for cloud provisioning
  • CI/CD - GitHub Actions pipelines for engineering teams

Side Projects

In my free time I maintain HomeOps - a fully GitOps-managed home lab running on Kubernetes. It’s where I experiment with things before they’re mainstream (and occasionally break my home network 😱).

This Blog

I write about DevOps, infrastructure, macOS, home labs, and security. Posts tend to be practical - things I actually ran into and had to figure out. The blog itself is open source.

Btw the background image is made by Damir Babacic from here. I highly recommend to check out his work, it’s amazing. Some users might see bubles animated SVG instead - I like that one more but it has performance issues on some platforms (especially Firefox and iOS).
