About Me

I build resilient, highly-scalable cloud platforms that turn business problems into automated, serverless, and container-driven solutions.

With deep expertise in AWS, Terraform, and CI/CD automation, I enable teams to ship faster and sleep better.

Passionate about clean architectures, mentoring, and driving a security-first culture.

Infrastructure as Code

Expertise in using Terraform, and CDK to automate infrastructure provisioning and management.

Cloud-Native Solutions

Designing and implementing solutions using containers, Kubernetes, and serverless technologies across major cloud providers.

Security & Compliance

Implementing security best practices and compliance frameworks in cloud environments to protect sensitive data and systems.

Featured Projects

A selection of projects that showcase my expertise in cloud architecture and DevOps engineering.

Redlock K8s Laboratory
Redlock K8s Laboratory
Blueprint that demonstrates Redlock-based distributed locking and cron scheduling across micro-services, with Docker-Compose & K8s manifests for local or cluster testing. Archived Jan 2025 but remains a solid reference for fault-tolerant job orchestration.
Node.js
Redis
Kubernetes
Minikube
Parallel Jobs
Docker
Repository Dispatch Action
Repository Dispatch Action
Triggers repository_dispatch events so one workflow can fan-out to other repos, passing custom JSON payloads. Single-step usage (uses: diekotto/repository-dispatch@v1) and clear error handling/PAT support.
GitHub Action
Node.js
Tools
Automation
Code Digest Action
Code Digest Action
Generates an LLM-ready digest of any repo: metadata, directory map and per-file summary—ideal for onboarding or AI agents. Works via GH Action or npx @diekotto/code-digest; artifact retention and glob ignores built-in.
GitHub Action

AI Pull Review
AI Pull Review
Turns every PR into a conversation with Claude—flags bugs, reviews architecture, checks docs and estimates cost, then posts rich comments. **Invited by Ready Tensor to showcase this project in the Agentic AI Innovation Challenge 2025.** Multiple scan depths, already adopted by several orgs.
GitHub Action
CLI
Node.js
Anthropic
AI
Automation
Sonar Scanner Analysis
Sonar Scanner Analysis
Spins up SonarQube + Scanner inside CI, runs analysis and uploads a Markdown report artifact—no external server needed. Perfect for private or air-gapped repos; v1 delivers full quality-gate metrics and issue breakdowns.

Community Contributions

Readme AI
Readme AI
AI-powered CLI that autogenerates rich, customizable README files from any repo; supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, and even offline mode. My contributions: Shipped a GitHub-Action wrapper, added Spanish locale, and refactored the CLI to support larger Claude context windows while tightening tests.
CLI
GitHub Action
Size Limit
Size Limit
Performance-budget tool for JavaScript that runs in CI, calculates real download & exec cost, and fails the build if a PR tips the budget; includes tree-shaking and time-based metrics. My contributions: Fixed PNPM-workspace resolution, added Vite example, and triaged bundle-size regressions across three major frameworks.
