Reliability
Systems should remain understandable, maintainable and dependable — especially when things go wrong.
BUILD • AUTOMATE • OPERATE
Build reliable systems. • Automate everything possible. • Keep learning.
I build, automate and operate reliable systems with a focus on Linux, infrastructure, cloud technologies and modern DevOps practices.
My work sits at the intersection of software and infrastructure — turning technical requirements into practical, maintainable and scalable environments.

ABOUT ME
I'm Mehdi Talebi, a DevOps and Infrastructure Engineer focused on building reliable systems, improving infrastructure workflows, and turning complex technical problems into practical solutions.
My interests span Linux system administration, automation, networking, containers, cloud infrastructure, monitoring and modern DevOps practices.
I enjoy learning by building. I experiment with technologies, break things, troubleshoot them, document what I learn, and use each project as an opportunity to understand systems more deeply.
ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
Good engineering is not only about choosing the right technology. It is about understanding the problem, designing for reliability, reducing unnecessary complexity, and continuously improving the system.
Systems should remain understandable, maintainable and dependable — especially when things go wrong.
If a task is repeated, I look for a way to automate it, make it reproducible and reduce human error.
Every failure, experiment and project is an opportunity to understand the system better and improve the next solution.
TECH STACK
A practical collection of technologies I use, study and experiment with across software, infrastructure and operations.
