Hey, I’m Pini.

#

I’ve been taking things apart since I was eight — electronics on my bedroom floor, things my parents probably wanted back in one piece. By my teens I was deep in IRC channels, writing scripts, hustling into communities that didn’t care how old you were as long as you could keep up.

I’ve been in tech professionally since 22. IT support, NOC engineering, freelance dev, full-stack, automation, DevOps, architecture, management — I didn’t plan a career path, I just kept saying yes to whatever scared me most.

The decade-long bet

#

I joined a startup as employee #5. No DevOps. No infrastructure. Barely a product.

I built it all. The test framework, the CI/CD, the first deployment pipeline, the first monitoring. When we needed an offshore team, I flew to Ukraine, hired the people, and made it work across timezones. When AI agents became viable, I put them on the org chart — with roles, KPIs, and real responsibilities.

Today I lead DevOps and Innovation, guiding 100+ engineers on how to work with AI. My team manages AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, MLOps, and production operations for a global SaaS platform.

Why I write

#

The AI era moves faster than anyone can process alone. Most of what’s out there is noise. Some of it matters enormously.

I write to separate the two — deep dives on AI agents, DevOps, engineering leadership, and the gray area where technology meets real human teams. Not theory. Not news roundups. What actually works in production.
