Firat Bağırlı

I’m a DevOps/SRE and system administration professional with 6+ years of experience building reliable cloud infrastructure, containerized environments, and CI/CD automation. I focus on turning operational pain into measurable outcomes—faster delivery, fewer incidents, and stronger visibility.

At ChipCart, I reduced application build times by 75% (from 20 to 5 minutes) by re-architecting CI/CD pipelines. I also secured environments with a Lockbox approach for centralized secret management, eliminated hard-coded credentials, and designed monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) that improved system observability and cut incident detection time by ~50%.

Across my roles, I’ve engineered scalable infrastructure and resilient operations: deploying production, pre-production, and development using Docker Swarm to isolate testing environments; orchestrating AWS autoscaling and load balancing to maintain reliability (99.9% uptime during peak loads); and building automated backup and recovery for critical MySQL and PostgreSQL databases to Yandex Cloud with an RPO under 1 hour.

I bring a practical, engineering-first mindset from hands-on operations—managed Linux and Windows infrastructure, supported secure VPN connectivity for remote teams, and improved network health monitoring using Bash and Python. I enjoy roles where security, uptime, and developer velocity all matter, and where automation is treated as a core product.
