👋🏿 Alison Mukoma | @sonlinux

Distributed systems engineer | Infrastructure operator in the machine layer.

I’m a systems engineer and infrastructure operator focused on designing, building, and running reliable distributed systems at scale.

Much of my work lives deep in the control plane of modern infrastructure — where data moves, systems coordinate, and reliability is engineered rather than hoped for.


Areas of Interest

  • Distributed systems and large-scale infrastructure

  • Cloud platforms, automation, and reliability engineering (SRE)

  • Data platforms, streaming systems, and big data

  • Backend architecture and high-performance services

  • Observability, operational tooling, and production systems

  • Edge computing and IoT systems


Current Focus

These days I spend most of my time operating within cloud infrastructure and production reliability domains, engineering systems that are designed to:

  • scale predictably
  • remain resilient under failure
  • recover automatically when things break

A typical day might involve:

  • production systems engineering
  • infrastructure automation
  • distributed data systems
  • reliability engineering and operational tooling

Think control-plane engineering for the machines that power modern platforms.


Collaboration

I’m always interested in collaborating on open-source and community-driven projects, especially around:

  • distributed systems
  • data infrastructure
  • developer tooling
  • reliability engineering

If you’re building something interesting in this space, I’m always happy to connect.

Philosophy

Systems don’t become reliable by accident. They become reliable because someone engineered them that way.
