Panos Xynos, SRE

I am an SRE focused on AI-Augmented Infrastructure. Twenty-six years deep. From mainframes to agentic AI, from COBOL to Rust.

I have spent my career making fragile systems reliable. Not just running platforms, but teaching them to fix themselves. Real open-source contributions across Cloud Foundry, BOSH vendor packages and releases. A verified development methodology I created with my young Padawan OrsonRius. TDD with LSP as the guardrail, trace tags for auditability, and the Philosophical Developer series documenting every experiment publicly at onlyascii.dev.

I am a polyglot engineer by nature, not by resume padding. From COBOL to Go to Rust to Python. From mainframes to Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes to what comes next.

I am the founder of OnlyASCII Ltd, a platform engineering consultancy. The company site is at onlyascii.io. This blog is where I write about the projects I build, the experiments I run, and the methodology I develop.
