Reynold Lariza Profile

About Me

🎯 21+ Years in IT | Cloud, DevOps, Integration, and Homelab Innovation

I’m Reynold Lariza — part tech architect, part integration ninja, and full-time homelab tinkerer.

With over two decades of experience in IT and multiple Salesforce certifications, I lead integration projects that transform businesses across industries. I specialize in DevOps, cloud infrastructure (AWS), Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and full-stack web development — all leveraged to build scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions.

At work, I lead from the front:

🔧 Architecting and automating CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce deployments
🚀 Coaching teams to deliver with agility and resilience
🤝 Aligning technical strategies with client business needs
⚙️ Building scalable, secure, and compliant release processes tailored for enterprise clients

Beyond the office, I’m a relentless builder and lifelong learner. My homelab is my playground — powered by a DIY solar setup, enterprise network gear, and a 42U rack of dreams. From Proxmox to Kubernetes, OpenStack to Unifi — I test, learn, optimize, and push tech to its limits.
