Platform & SRE

Building dependable platforms that let teams ship with confidence.

I'm Sylvan Mostert, a platform and site reliability engineer who enjoys simplifying complex infrastructure, curating developer tooling, and turning automation into delightful team habits.

What I'm focused on

I combine infrastructure, automation, and product thinking so teams can spend more time creating and less time fighting tooling.

Peek at the homelab

Platform Foundations

Designing and operating container platforms, Kubernetes, and Linux infrastructure that scale without drama.

Automation & DX

From CI/CD pipelines to opinionated golden paths, I help teams codify best practices and ship faster with confidence.

Observability

Instrumenting systems with actionable telemetry so operators and developers share a common, reliable source of truth.

A taste of how experimentation, homelab tinkering, and delivery work intersect.
