I’m Alis, a DevOps engineer passionate about open-source, cloud-native technologies, and public health. I’m currently working at Skylight on projects that enable public health agencies to leverage modern, cloud-based software solutions. Feel free to follow me on GitHub or connect with me on LinkedIn.
