Hi, I'm Naveen.
I'm a Cloud, DevOps and Database Engineer. I work on the layer people only notice when it breaks: cloud infrastructure, databases, and the pipelines that ship code between them.
I also write crafted.data, where the things I learn the hard way become long-form articles with the code included.
What I work on
Three areas that fail together, so I work on them together.
How I work
Four habits that shape every project.
Read before touching
I look at the bill, the logs and the code before suggesting a change. Most fixes are obvious once you look properly.
Explain in plain English
You should understand what's wrong and why the fix works, without a glossary.
Small, reversible steps
Changes go in one at a time, each with a way back.
Leave it documented
When I'm done, your team can run it without me. That's the point.
crafted.data
I started writing crafted.data to explain databases, cloud and AI the way I wish they'd been explained to me: with real systems, real code, and the reasoning behind each choice.
Tools I work with
The ones I reach for most.
Let's fix the thing that's bothering you.
A 15-minute call is enough to tell whether I can help.
