Grace Manuela Amia, Cloud & AI Platform Engineer, AI Business Analyst, founder of Grace Your Brain

Cloud & AI platform engineer in Strasbourg. I build and run the infrastructure behind generative AI for an industrial company: containers, API gateways in front of LLMs, infrastructure as code and monitoring. I am also an AI business analyst and work with business teams to scope AI projects.

On my own time, I run a self-hosted LLM platform and write Grace Your Brain, a blog on Cloud, AI, DevOps and FinOps.

Currently

  • Building an agentic stack: K3s, a remote NVIDIA GPU, vLLM and an MCP server I use from VS Code.
  • Working through Under the hood, an 8-week study of Linux, containers, Kubernetes, networking, IaC, LLMs and observability. Notes and labs are public.
  • Writing the next articles for Grace Your Brain.

Project notes

llm-platform: K3s cluster with a remote NVIDIA GPU reached over Tailscale. Models are served with vLLM (OpenAI-compatible API) and Open WebUI. GPU metrics go through DCGM Exporter, Prometheus and Grafana. A Python MCP server exposes Kubernetes, GPU and vLLM operations to VS Code.

cloud-landing-zone: Azure landing zone in Terraform and 2 AKS clusters (pre-production and production). I compared 5 to 8 tools for each pillar (FinOps, deployment, security, monitoring). OpenCost, Prometheus, Grafana and Argo CD were adopted.

datacenter: school project, team of 6. Routing and switching, DHCP/DDNS, OPNsense firewall, load balancing and reverse proxy, Ansible and Vagrant, Zabbix and Grafana, disaster recovery plan.

siem: log collection, centralized analysis and alerting for a private cloud, with OpenSearch and ElastAlert.
