Message

At Independent R&D & consulting, I standardize Kubernetes deployments with a unified Helm chart and build GitOps delivery using ArgoCD, Flux, and GitLab CI/CD. I also developed a Go microservice with S3-backed storage and reusable pipeline components adopted as the platform standard.

I built Keycloak webhook automation connecting authentication events to platform services, Vault, and ArgoCD, and participated in implementing Vault PKI certificate issuance and rotation. I also built an experimental AI SRE agent platform using Python, OpenAI APIs, and Temporal workflows.

At Mov.ai — The Robotics Engine Platform, I owned the cloud architecture and production operations, and led migration of legacy VM deployments to Kubernetes on EKS and Docker. I integrated Prometheus and Grafana observability and designed hybrid deployments across cloud and on-prem environments.

At UnikaPay, I designed and operated payment infrastructure on AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform, and led PCI DSS compliance work. Across my experience, I’ve reduced cloud costs by ~71% while increasing compute capacity 5×, and built and operated distributed Linux, Kubernetes, and hybrid-cloud systems.
