Hi, I’m Maruša. 👋
I’m not the biggest tech enthusiast in the room — and I’m fine with that. What drives me is trust. Trust that what I promised will get delivered. Trust that the system I built will hold. Trust that the team can rely on me when it matters.
The philosophy closest to me is you build it, you run it. If I’m shipping something to production, I need to understand it well enough to own what happens next. I take a bit more time to verify in a safe environment rather than rush and fix things under pressure — because production incidents are expensive in every sense, and I’d much rather prevent them.
Over the years I’ve touched a wide range of things: managing Linux and EC2 instances, setting up EKS clusters, working with alerts and monitoring, migrating workloads from on-premise to cloud, building CI/CD workflows, spinning up ephemeral environments, supporting dev teams, handling networking, and figuring out where the money goes.
Two things genuinely excite me.
Automation. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching manual, repetitive work disappear into a pipeline — knowing I’ll never have to do that by hand again and can put that energy somewhere more useful. Getting to know the tooling, solving problems on the fly, building something that just runs — I’ve found real joy in that.
Cost optimisation. By a set of circumstances this became a passion. There is a specific kind of satisfaction in finding the things quietly eating your AWS bill and fixing them. Watching a monthly invoice drop by thousands of euros you can now spend on something that actually matters — that never gets old.
