2014–2018 — inManage, Interhost Networks, Calanit
Before Kubernetes existed in my vocabulary, I was managing Linux servers, configuring DNS zones, hardening firewalls, and writing Bash scripts that are probably still running somewhere.
Interhost Networks was web hosting infrastructure — hundreds of customer sites, shared servers, the kind of environment where you learn DNS, SSL, and Apache configuration by necessity. When something broke at 2am, there was no Kubernetes self-healing. You SSH’d in and fixed it.
