Senior Platform & Kubernetes infrastructure engineer helping teams deliver reliable Azure cloud platforms.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Platform / Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineer focused on Azure, AKS, Terraform/Terragrunt, and Kubernetes platform delivery. I help engineering teams build, provision, operate, and maintain cloud-native platforms for microservice-based products—from early PoC stages to customer-facing production systems.
In my recent work, I delivered an AKS platform across 8 clusters and 8 environments, powering Kubernetes deployment workflows for 30+ microservices. I’ve owned infrastructure provisioning with Terraform/Terragrunt, implemented Helm/ArgoCD-based GitOps, and built secrets and certificate automation with Azure Key Vault, cert-manager, and CI/CD pipelines.
I bring broad ownership in small and distributed teams across infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud networking, IAM/RBAC, secrets management, troubleshooting, release support, and platform maintenance. My strongest areas are managed Kubernetes infrastructure, infrastructure as code, delivery automation, and making engineering platforms easier to operate reliably.
