About

Let's get to know each other


Been doing DevOps since 640KB stopped being enough for everyone, but a single node was still plenty.

Professional Experience

Multi-Account AWS Platform Migration
Led architecture and delivery of a CDK-managed multi-account AWS platform, replacing an undocumented single-account estate.

Core Tech:

AWS CDK, Organizations, IAM, VPC, ECS/EKS, Snyk, Wiz

Infrastructure:

AWS (multi-account)

Key Responsibilities:

  • Led the migration and owned the target architecture for a large AWS platform moving from a manually operated, untagged single account to a multi-account model
  • Designed account topology, networking, and IAM baselines, then implemented them with AWS CDK
  • Embedded Snyk and Wiz into CI/CD for continuous vulnerability and cloud security scanning
  • Applied AWS Well-Architected principles; the resulting setup passed an external security audit
Alert Routing & Monitoring Self-Service
Designed and built a service that separates ownership of blackbox monitoring alerts and routes them to the right people and channels — creating a you build it, you own it culture in the company.

Core Tech:

Next.js, TypeScript, Slack, MongoDB, Azure Entra ID, UptimeRobot

Key Responsibilities:

  • Built a webhook service that ingests UptimeRobot events and routes personalized Slack alerts to subscribed users and project channels
  • Enabled self-service subscribe/unsubscribe flows so teams own alert responsibility without shared inbox noise
  • Exposed secure monitor create/delete via Azure Entra auth, removing the need for direct UptimeRobot account access
  • Added an audit log of employee actions to support ISO 27001 traceability and operational accountability
  • Created a you build it, you own it culture: product teams became accountable for their monitors and incident notifications
Kubernetes Transformation & Orchestration
Architecting and operating complex container ecosystems across cloud and bare-metal.

Core Tech:

Kubernetes (Azure AKS, AWS EKS, AWS ECS, k3s), Docker, Helm/Helmfile, FluxCD

Infrastructure:

AWS, Azure, Hybrid, Bare-metal (Servers, Network Equipment)

Key Responsibilities:

  • Designed and managed Kubernetes clusters on both cloud providers and on-premise bare-metal servers
  • Built hybrid and edge infrastructure solutions
  • Implemented GitOps workflows using FluxCD and Helmfile for reliable state synchronization
  • Orchestrated zero-downtime deployments for production environments
High-Load FinTech & Payment Systems
Robust infrastructure for secure financial operations.

Core Tech:

AWS (Lambda, S3, ECS, EKS), PostgreSQL, Terraform

Key Responsibilities:

  • Designed high-availability infrastructure for authentic payment gateways
  • Implemented serverless architectures using AWS Lambda
  • Managed migrations of applications and data layers to modern cloud environments
  • Performed security optimizations of AWS platform
  • Applied AWS Well-Architected Framework principles to ensure operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization
  • Integrated SAST and CodeQL for automated security vulnerability detection in CI/CD pipelines
PaaS & Backup Ecosystem
Building self-service platforms and resilient data protection systems.

Core Tech:

Go, Restic, GoBackup, K8s Custom Operators, AI Agents

Key Achievements:

  • PaaS:Designed and deployed Platform-as-a-Service solution to streamline application hosting and standardize deployments
  • Backup-as-Code:Architected a backup system using Restic and GoBackup driven by a custom Go application, treating backup configurations as code
  • AI-Driven Ops:Implemented AI Agents to autonomously audit infrastructure and verify the integrity and presence of backup archives
Advanced Pipeline Engineering
Streamlining delivery with complex, multi-architecture pipelines.

Core Tech:

GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy

Key Achievements:

  • Complex Pipelines:Developed matrix builds, automated versioning, and multi-environment release chains
  • Cross-Platform Builds:Optimized CI/CD for AMD64/ARM64 and custom embedded platforms (nRF, ESP)
  • Mobile DevOps:Automated iOS application builds and publishing workflows (TestFlight/Apple Developer)
  • Cost Optimization:Implemented specific strategies to curb cloud and build resource usage
  • Custom GitHub Actions:Developed custom GitHub reusable Actions to automate complex CI/CD processes
Internal Tooling & Automation
Developing custom solutions to accelerate operations.

Core Tech:

Go, TypeScript, NextJS, CLI Tools

Key Responsibilities:

  • Built custom CLI tools, helper services and chat bots to automate routine DevOps tasks
  • Developed "DevOps helper apps" to bridge gaps between diverse systems
  • Implemented AI-powered components for infrastructure optimization
Azure & .NET Ecosystem Management
Standardizing workflows for a vast portfolio of 30+ projects.

Core Tech:

Azure (WebApp, SQL), .NET

Key Responsibilities:

  • Standardized deployment workflows across a microservice and monolith ecosystem
  • Troubleshot and resolved complex production issues including architecture conflicts, performance bottlenecks, and integration failures
  • Optimized Azure resource utilization and costs
  • Implemented comprehensive monitoring solutions for distributed systems
Modern Access & Zero-Trust Architecture
Redefining secure access for distributed infrastructure.

Core Tech:

Teleport, Netbird, WireGuard

Key Achievements:

  • Access Re-architecture:Completely redesigned system access workflows using Teleport and Netbird, moving away from traditional VPNs to ephemeral, identity-based access
  • Secure Connectivity:Implemented mesh networking for secure, peer-to-peer inter-service communication
Security Architecture & Governance
Implementing Zero-Trust and strict security standards.

Core Tech:

Zero-Trust Models, Vulnerability Scanners

Key Achievements:

  • ISO 27001 Compliance:Implemented ISMS practices, establishing secure access workflows and privileged access management
  • DevSecOps:Integrated artifact signing, dependency control, and automated security scanning into CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure Hardening:Implemented Zero-Trust access models
  • Vulnerability Management:Analyzed and patched critical vulnerabilities
Performance Engineering
Ensuring system resilience under pressure.

Core Tech:

K6, MongoDB Atlas, Typesctipt

Activities:

  • Designed load testing plans (K6) to validate infrastructure for high-traffic marketing campaigns
  • Optimized database functions (MongoDB Atlas) for performance and cost efficiency
