About

Hej, I’m Rina! 👋

a platform and DevOps engineer based in Lund, Sweden. I’ve been in tech for many years — the last 4 fully focused on infrastructure, Kubernetes, and building the kind of platforms that let development teams ship without thinking twice about what’s underneath.

I care about the whole stack — from provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform to wiring up GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, to making sure CI/CD pipelines are fast, and reliable. I work primarily on AWS with Kubernetes at the center of most of what I build.

You can explore some of my projects and experiments on https://github.com/rinavillaruz.

I also make DevOps content on YouTube. Mostly things I wish existed when I was figuring something out — walkthroughs, debugging sessions, infrastructure deep dives.

How I work

I’m the kind of engineer who documents as I go, automates the things that shouldn’t be manual, and tries to leave infrastructure in a state that makes sense to the next person. I think good platform work is mostly invisible — when it’s done right, developers just ship.

What I build outside work

I keep a few side projects running that I use as a playground for things I want to go deeper on:

dota2metalab – Kubernetes MLOps platform demonstrating end-to-end infrastructure ownership — Terraform, ArgoCD, Helm, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, MongoDB.
jeffrey-epstein-files – Kubernetes Indexed Job that bulk-downloads DOJ disclosure PDFs using Python ThreadPoolExecutor across parallel pods.
terraform-aws-kubernetes – Terraform scripts for provisioning a production-grade Kubernetes cluster on AWS using Terraform modules and Debian 12 / Ubuntu. This project automates the setup of Kubernetes infrastructure, including VPC, subnets, ec2, and more
easy-aws-infrastructure-terraform – This repository contains Terraform configurations to deploy an Easy AWS Infrastructure via Terraform. It leverages Terraform modules for infrastructure automation.
