Google Cloud–certified Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in Kubernetes and Terraform.
ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Google Cloud and HashiCorp certified Senior DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure. My work centers on Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, cost optimization, and site reliability engineering practices that scale microservice platforms.
At MaxDuel and Metric Gaming I migrated and optimized cloud platforms, achieving major cost reductions (40–80%) and maintaining 99.9% uptime across 50+ microservices. I implemented autoscaling with Karpenter, multi-environment Terraform workspaces, and GitOps deployments to enable rapid, reliable delivery.
I designed and maintained full-stack observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, DataDog), automated disaster recovery for MySQL/Postgres/Cassandra, and developed Python tooling to automate on-call workflows and security audits. I also led FinOps efforts including rightsizing and reserved-instance optimization.
I enjoy mentoring engineers, authoring operational guidance, and establishing RFC and incident-management processes that reduce MTTR and improve organizational reliability. I seek roles where I can drive infrastructure reliability, cost efficiency, and developer velocity at scale.
