PolandWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Kubernetes engineer with strong experience managing OpenStack and cloud-native Kubernetes clusters, delivering secure, scalable platforms for telecom and enterprise workloads. I automate operations using tools like Ansible, Juju, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines while supporting 24/7 services and troubleshooting Linux systems.
My background includes hands-on work at large engineering organizations where I built platforms for 5G services, implemented deployment and orchestration solutions with Docker and Kubernetes, and administered open source server software such as NGINX, RabbitMQ, Redis, and Elasticsearch. I script in Shell and Python and develop Kubernetes operators and automation using Jinja2.
I hold multiple Linux Foundation Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS) and bring disciplined time management, problem-solving, and collaboration skills to international teams to deliver resilient cloud infrastructure.
