Automation & Scripting
Expertise in advanced Bash/Shell scripting, Python for scripting and bots, as well as low-code automation tools such as n8n and Microsoft Power Automate to replace legacy processes and reduce manual operational overhead.
CI/CD Architecture
End-to-end management of Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions, implementing standard templates that ensure security compliance and deployment consistency across microservices.
Containerization & Orchestration
Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm for managing and optimizing containerized application deployments, ensuring cost-efficiency and performance.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Practical experience with Azure and DigitalOcean cloud platforms, as well as Linux environments (RedHat/Ubuntu) for building and maintaining scalable infrastructure.
Observability & Monitoring
Setup and operation of monitoring stacks using Grafana, Loki, and Instana to proactively detect and resolve performance anomalies before they impact end-users.
Database Operations
Administration and operation of PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MySQL databases, including data migration and complex DDL/DML operations to support application logic.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Foundational knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure maintenance and state management, supporting stable cloud environment foundations.
Platform Engineering & Self-Service
Design and implementation of self-provisioning pipelines and self-service architectures that empower development teams to deploy environments independently.
Security & Compliance
Implementation of strict security protocols and compliance standards within CI/CD pipelines and decentralized financial community platforms.
Web3 & Blockchain Integration
Development and maintenance of bespoke bots for Discord and Telegram, integrating with blockchain APIs to automate user support and enhance community engagement.

Project history
Championed a Shift-Left strategy by engineering self-provisioning pipelines, transitioning the team to a self-service model. Orchestrated system automation using advanced Bash scripting and n8n workflows. Owned end-to-end Azure DevOps pipeline management, managed Kubernetes and Helm deployments, collaborated on legacy application migration to Azure using Terraform, and established a proactive monitoring culture using Grafana, Loki, and Instana.
Founded and architected a Web3 automation platform. Designed high-availability infrastructure on cloud VPS with auto-healing Bash/Python scripts. Built and maintained bespoke bots for Discord and Telegram integrating blockchain APIs. Implemented strict security protocols to protect user data within decentralized financial communities.
Led the deployment lifecycle for critical banking microservices, ensuring seamless code promotion from Lower to Production environments via CI/CD. Served as primary L2 escalation point for the Smart Mobile application, diagnosing complex integration issues. Monitored critical environments to maintain high availability and supported developers with pipeline integration and troubleshooting.
