Itamar Cohen

DevOps Engineer. Builder. Tinkerer.
I automate infrastructure on AWS, ship with Terraform and ArgoCD, and write Python and JavaScript to make it all work.

What I do

Things I Ship

DevOps by profession, builder by nature — from cloud infrastructure to AI side projects, I like to own things end-to-end.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS from the ground up — EKS, RDS, IAM, VPC, the works. Terraform for everything. If it's not in code, it doesn't exist.

GitOps & CI/CD

ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployments, GitHub Actions for pipelines. Everything declarative, everything auditable, nothing clicked in a console.

Automation & Tooling

Python scripts that actually get used. Automating the boring parts of ops so the interesting parts get more attention.

AI Agents & Side Projects

Side projects blurring the line between ops and AI. Running my own stack on a VPS, building agents with real tool use. Learning by shipping.

The Human Behind the Terminal

I'm Itamar — a DevOps Engineer who builds and automates cloud infrastructure for a living. AWS, Terraform, ArgoCD, Kubernetes — that's my day job.

Outside of work I'm into AI agents, self-hosting my own stack, and riding my Husqvarna 701 Enduro. I write about things I figure out — occasionally useful, always honest.
