👋 Hey, I'm Patrick (patppuccin) Ambrose

DevOps • Software • Cloud • Homelab

Website Resume LinkedIn Email GitHub


Cloud and DevOps engineer by craft, software builder by curiosity. I design automation pipelines, optimize cloud infrastructure, and turn emerging tech into reliable, production-ready systems. My focus is on reliability and velocity by building internal platforms that help teams ship faster, safer, and with more confidence. I like shaping the quiet parts of engineering: the CI/CD pipelines that just work, the dashboards that tell the truth, and the systems that stay calm under pressure.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked across on-prem and cloud environments using AWS, Cloudflare, and bare-metal servers. I enjoy tuning Go services for performance, automating releases with PowerShell, and building developer tools that make life simpler.

When I’m not on the clock, you’ll find me in my HomeLab, experimenting with Caddy proxies, MinIO storage, or Jellyfin servers that occasionally hum louder than they should. I like blending technology with design, keeping everything functional, clear, and visually calm. Curiosity keeps me learning, and craftsmanship keeps me honest.


🧰 Tools I play with



🧠 Learning & Building

  • Exploring Rust to understand systems at a lower level and build high-performance tools
  • Diving into Model Context Protocol (MCP) to experiment with local and personal AI assistants
  • Building CLI-focused tools in Go that make everyday engineering tasks faster and cleaner
  • Restructuring and documenting my HomeLab servers for better reliability and organization
  • Continuously refining my developer workflow across terminals, editors, and automation setups

🚧 My Open Source projects in progress

  • ASKY - Simple interactive prompt library for Go.
  • VIEWR - A simple, local-first, read-only file browser
  • TERMICOLR - Lightweight terminal theming package for Go CLI apps.

📚 Some of my recent musings

🎮 When Away From Work

  • I explore architecture and design in both physical and digital forms
  • I enjoy creating pixel and voxel art, building small detailed worlds
  • I relax with movies and games, recently playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • I often code late at night while listening to ambient soundtracks

🧭 My Engineering Philosophy

I began as a biotechnologist, fascinated by how life organizes itself. Over time, that curiosity shifted toward how systems and machines work. What started as curiosity turned into a lifelong pursuit. I experimented, broke things, fixed them, and learned why they failed.

I learned by doing, failing, and rebuilding until things made sense. That trial-and-error mindset shaped how I approach software and systems today. I believe engineering is not about perfection but about iteration, clarity, and feedback.

I like to move fast but understand what I break. Every tool, every script, every system is a way to think better and build better. The goal is not just to ship software but to keep learning and create things that endure.
