Senior platform engineer and cloud architect specializing in production infrastructure, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, reliability, security and cost control.
Core expertise:
• AWS and Azure cloud architecture
• Kubernetes, Amazon EKS and Azure AKS
• Terraform, Helm, Argo CD and repeatable multi-environment delivery
• CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions and related delivery tooling
• Linux, Bash and Python automation
• Observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki
• IAM, RBAC, temporary credentials and secure workload access
• Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, PostgreSQL, Redis and OpenSearch
• DevSecOps, cloud security, compliance readiness and operational risk reduction
• AI/ML infrastructure, GPU workloads and production data pipelines
I design and improve cloud platforms that are reliable, secure, observable and cost-conscious. Recent work includes standardizing multi-tenant Kubernetes environments with Terraform and GitOps; building dashboards, alerting and logging pipelines that improve signal quality and recovery time; designing AWS access patterns based on IAM roles and temporary credentials; and creating high-throughput streaming and AI infrastructure using Kafka, Kinesis, Python, OpenSearch and Kubernetes.
Typical outcomes include safer deployments, reduced configuration drift, clearer operational visibility, lower incident risk, faster recovery and better cloud cost attribution. I am comfortable working hands-on as a senior engineer while also providing architecture reviews, technical direction, written recommendations and knowledge transfer.
Best fit: part-time or fractional platform engineering, DevOps/SRE, cloud architecture, infrastructure modernization, Kubernetes reliability, AI infrastructure and technical advisory engagements. I work remotely from Poland in the CET/CEST timezone and communicate fluently in English.
