Problem Solver · Founder · Limassol, Cyprus
I build platforms that stay up, then write about what breaks.
I'm Andrew Ttofi, founder of Nepheli Consulting and a platform engineer with years spent inside Kubernetes clusters, AWS accounts, and CI pipelines. This is where I keep my writing, my work, and my opinions.
