Who keeps this notebook, how it's built and run, and how to reach me.
About
I design, automate, and operate cloud infrastructure that stays boring in production — in the best way.
I care about reliable pipelines, infrastructure as code, and systems that heal themselves before anyone gets paged.

How this site runs
The same practices I use at work, applied to this site: gated CI, measured quality, known costs, and small, reviewed changes.
yes, it really costs $0
Your request, traced live
The path this page took to reach you, measured live. Hover over any part to see what it does and why it's built that way.
Edge network
Vercel’s edge network routed you to the closest point of presence. Pages and images are cached here, so most requests never reach a server.
Designed, built and operated by Muthukumar Natarajan.
Quality gates
Every pull request must pass these before it can merge. Scores are from the latest run on main.
