Muhammad Safwan Karim

I’m a Backend / Platform Engineer with 3+ years of experience building distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and high-performance backend services using Go, C#, and Java. I focus on scalable architecture, production reliability, and automation that teams can trust.

At Aurora Solutions / Stakater, I designed and developed backend services for Reloader Enterprise—an enterprise-grade microservice platform in Go with an API gateway, core processing services, and Redis-backed state management. I also built GitOps deployment pipelines with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Git repositories, OpenShift clusters, and vClusters to enable automated multi-environment Kubernetes deployments.

My work includes developing Kubernetes operators/controllers in Go, including DexConfigOperator for identity provider configuration, IPShield for automated OpenShift IP whitelisting, and FinOps Operator for cost aggregation and enterprise chargeback workflows. I contributed to Stakater’s Multi Tenant Operator (MTO) and Reloader features like tenant resource isolation, cache rehydration, heartbeat mechanisms, and distributed service coordination.

I’ve owned full lifecycle operations for vClusters—from provisioning to decommissioning—and supported multi-platform deployments across OpenShift, AKS, EKS, and vCluster environments. I also served as on-call SRE with day-to-day operational ownership of OpenShift clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and production reliability workflows, while contributing to open-source cloud-native projects including Reloader (10k stars), Ingress Monitor Controller, and Forecastle.
