What I'm looking for
🚀 Platform Engineer & Cloud Architect | Kubernetes · AWS · GCP · Azure
Most engineering teams don't have a Kubernetes problem; they have a platform problem.
Deploys that take too long, cloud bills growing faster than revenue, and senior engineers fighting infrastructure instead of shipping product.
I help organizations fix that: designing, building, and operating production-grade cloud platforms that are reliable, scalable, and secure, tailored for companies ranging from fast-moving startups to Fortune 500-equivalent enterprises across banking, energy, and retail. My approach is hands-on and pragmatic: turning Kubernetes, CI/CD, and DevOps practices into enablers for engineering teams, not constraints.
Recent outcomes:
→ 20–35% cloud cost reduction through rightsizing, autoscaling, and spot optimization without performance trade-off
→ Zero-downtime Kubernetes migrations across hundreds of services
→ Audit prep (SOC 2 / ISO 27001) cut from months to days via policy-as-code evidence collection
What I typically work on:
🔁 CI/CD & GitOps automation
Designing CI/CD and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) that streamline releases, reduce operational risk, and support fast, controlled deployments.
☁️ Cloud platforms & containerization
Building and operating Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE, AKS, on-premises) on AWS, GCP, and Azure supporting containerization, platform modernization, and cloud migrations.
📊 Reliability, observability & SRE
Implementing monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) to detect issues early, improve availability, and strengthen platform resilience.
🔐 Cloud security by design
Embedding cloud security and compliance into platforms and delivery pipelines from day one (IAM, Vault, Kyverno, policy-as-code).
⚙️ Infrastructure as Code
Automating infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Terragrunt to keep environments consistent and maintainable as platforms scale.
How I work: B2B-ready and fully remote with EU/US overlap.
Whether you're modernizing a platform, migrating to the cloud, scaling Kubernetes, or improving delivery speed and reliability, I bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach focused on real operational outcomes.
📩 Happy to connect and discuss your project
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Architected multi-region Azure and AWS landing zones with global governance for networking, security, and traffic management. Built and operated large-scale AKS/EKS and on-prem Kubernetes across three continents, delivering GitOps automation with Argo CD and secure, policy-enforced operations.
