Instead of treating those tasks as isolated scripts and commands, I wanted to explore what it would look like to bring them together into a coherent engineering platform.</p>https://ikwukao.dev/projects/opspilot/Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://ikwukao.dev/projects/opspilot/A DevOps-focused engineering platform exploring automation, CLI design, container workflows, and cloud-native operations.
