André Wlod

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with five years of remote experience building and operating production Kubernetes infrastructure for high-growth companies serving Fortune 500 clients. I specialize in AWS, EKS, GitOps, Terraform and cloud cost optimization, and I lead cross-functional initiatives to raise engineering standards.

I've delivered measurable outcomes including $36K annual infrastructure cost savings, 57% latency improvement, and 500% performance scaling through architecture redesigns, autoscaling strategies, and zero-downtime migrations. I architect resilient systems with multi-cloud failover and strong monitoring.

I drive adoption of SRE and zero-trust security practices, led Cloudflare Zero Trust VPN migrations, and supported SOC 2 audits by implementing audit logging, vulnerability remediation, and access controls. I also run internal training to spread best practices in GitOps, CI/CD and incident response.

Technically hands-on, I implement observability, advanced autoscaling (HPA, KEDA, Karpenter), and GitHub Actions pipelines, and I have experience with database migrations to serverless/auto-scaling platforms. I aim to deliver scalable, cost-efficient, and secure infrastructure that accelerates product delivery.
