Deployments that take hours, environments that drift, production incidents no one anticipates?
As a DevOps and Platform Engineer with 5+ years of experience, I design and operate reliable, automated, and secure cloud-native platforms.
I work remotely with teams in finance, legal-tech, and major European enterprises.
- KUBERNETES & PLATFORM ENGINEERING
Design, deployment, and operation of Kubernetes clusters on Azure (AKS) and on-premises.
Implementation of standardized internal platforms, Helm packaging, environment management, and industrialization of containerized workloads.
- INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE & CLOUD
Terraform and Terragrunt for versioned, reproducible, and auditable infrastructure.
Azure provisioning, configuration and operations automation with Ansible, and multi-account environment management.
- CI/CD & AUTOMATION
CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and ArgoCD (GitOps).
Standardized deployments, reduced delivery times, and consistent environments from development to production.
- EVENT-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURES
Implementation and operation of event-driven architectures based on Kafka and other messaging systems, with associated observability.
- RESULTS
- Deployment times reduced from several hours to a few minutes
- Fewer production incidents
- Strengthened security for cloud and on-premises workloads
- CERTIFICATIONS & APPROACH
Certified CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer) and LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator).
Three principles guide my work:
- Automation
- Observability
- Security-by-design

Project history
* Operated and improved a container platform on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with supporting services (registry, secrets, monitoring), ensuring high availability, security compliance and predictable releases.
* Designed and implemented modern CI/CD pipelines (build, test, deploy) that reduced deployment time from 40‑minute manual runs to around 10‑minute automated runs and enabled multiple safe releases per week.
* Introduced GitOps practices with ArgoCD (declarative config, PR‑based changes, automatic sync) to standardize deployments across environments and reduce rollout errors.
* Built reusable Terraform modules for networking, AKS clusters, registries and secrets management, cutting environment provisioning from several days to a few hours and eliminating configuration drift between dev, test and production.
* Designed and maintained deployment pipelines for business‑critical banking applications on OpenShift across multiple environments, enabling frequent, low‑risk releases with minimal downtime.
* Set up automated quality gates, approval workflows and standardized release protocols to keep production deployments reliable and auditable.
* Led incident root‑cause analysis and created actionable runbooks, significantly reducing recovery time and cutting repeat incidents on core payment and customer‑facing services.
* Designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines for internal applications, eliminating most manual deployment steps and noticeably reducing production release errors and rollbacks.
* Developed and maintained internal web applications used by HR and product teams, and worked closely with them to translate their needs into features and deployment workflows that made candidate evaluation and internal tools faster and easier to operate.
