EstoniaWhat I'm looking for
I've led DevOps for Checkatrade's cloud-based marketplace platform, designing AWS infrastructure, EKS clusters, Terraform automation, GitHub Actions pipelines, and production observability. Previously at Gunvor Group, I supported AWS systems for financial trading, logistics, market data, and risk management applications.
Across CMHWorks, Playtech, and ABB, I've automated cloud provisioning, CI/CD, Linux operations, monitoring, and production support using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Python, Bash, Prometheus, and Grafana. I enjoy improving developer workflows, mentoring engineers, and driving reliable deployment and platform standards.
