What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud-native, automated platform work—emphasizing Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security, and measurable cost and uptime improvements.

I am a certified Kubernetes administrator and DevOps engineer with hands-on experience deploying, managing, and scaling microservices in production environments. I focus on reliable, observable, and cost-efficient cloud-native platforms.

At Rezonit I led Kubernetes backup and restore with Velero, optimized clusters to reduce infrastructure spend by 25%, and improved application uptime to 99.99%. I also implemented CI/CD pipelines that cut release lead time by 60% and centralized logging that reduced MTTR by 50%.

In prior roles I automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Ansible, reducing setup time from days to under an hour, and implemented automated deployments with Flux CD and GitHub Actions to shorten release cycles from days to hours. I have experience tuning databases to improve reliability and prevent revenue-impacting outages.

I also consulted on DevSecOps, OSINT, and forensics, strengthening my security posture around containerization, vulnerability management, and Zero Trust concepts. I prioritize automation, observability, and secure-by-design principles in every project.
