I build secure, automated Kubernetes platforms across AWS and Azure using GitOps and infrastructure as code.
What I'm looking for
I'm building secure, highly available Kubernetes platforms across AWS and Azure, with more than three years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and DevSecOps.
At Robust Quality, I built Golang Kubernetes controllers that reduced manual intervention by 40%, implemented GitOps deployments with ArgoCD, and improved resource utilization by 30% through VPA, HPA, and KEDA. I also reduced CI/CD infrastructure costs by 60% using auto-scaling GitLab Runners on AWS spot instances.
Previously at Cloudnimi, I led multi-cloud migration and centralized GitOps workflows, created reusable Terraform modules and Helm charts, and increased infrastructure automation by 95%. I focus on self-service platforms, observability, zero-trust security, and reliable delivery for development teams.
