Platform-focused DevOps engineer driving reliable large-scale Kubernetes deployments.
What I'm looking for
I am a PlatformOps / DevOps engineer experienced in building and operating large-scale deployment orchestration platforms and cloud infrastructure. I maintain a Go-based internal platform that performs red-black rollouts across ~1000 Kubernetes clusters and ensure safe, consistent releases at scale.
I investigate and troubleshoot production deployment failures and analyze unusual traffic patterns such as DDoS and credential-stuffing attacks in a multi-tenant environment to preserve availability and performance. I also implemented alerting, monitoring and self-mitigation tooling for large customers.
Previously I supervised administration of critical systems across business units, managing thousands of EC2 instances and executing cloud migrations from Azure to AWS using Terraform, Ansible and service downscaling to reduce costs. I developed zero-downtime migration strategies for production Elasticsearch clusters and contributed automation scripts to optimize cloud resources.
I value operational reliability, cost-efficient cloud architecture and customer-focused solutions, and I bring hands-on incident response experience, strong system-level troubleshooting, and a drive to automate repetitive work.
