About Me
I'm a Senior DevOps & Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing, implementing, and optimizing cloud infrastructure for enterprise clients. I specialize in building scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions using AWS, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code practices.
My experience spans working with Fortune 500 companies like JP Morgan Chase and Mercedes-Benz, where I've led critical infrastructure migrations, reduced cloud costs by up to 50%, and architected high-availability systems handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
I'm passionate about automation, continuous improvement, and mentoring teams. Whether it's a complex Terraform migration or implementing GenAI-powered monitoring solutions, I focus on delivering measurable business value.

2023 February - 2025 September
- Led urgent and time-limited Terraform Enterprise migration from Terragrunt, completing it in 30% of the planned time (1 month instead of 3 months) with half the team size (3-5 instead of 10 engineers); provided daily reports to stakeholders on development status, performance tracking, and management via team calls, Jira comments, and Confluence pages.
- Led network architecture redesign to eliminate Nginx network bottlenecks, applying high availability and reliability principles using AWS services (ALB, NLB, EC2, Route53, EKS, CloudFront, VPC, EventBridge), reworking legacy code, reducing incident frequency by 70%, and enabling the handling of high traffic peaks with hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
- Led documentation initiatives to improve transparency for clients and newly onboarded staff, creating complete infrastructure and testing documentation and knowledge-sharing procedures, resulting in improved team efficiency and engagement.
- Led urgent production Kubernetes cluster restoration during weekends following an incident, restoring from automated backups, implementing countermeasures, and documenting the event.
- Regularly mentored a team of 10 members, providing one-to-one support sessions.
- Implemented and maintained IAM policies, secrets management, and conducted regular security audits within the AWS environment.
- Designed and implemented Gerrit High Availability Cluster architecture using Corosync, Pacemaker, and distributed storage (GFS2, DLM, LVM, lvmlockd) with automation, eliminating downtime during maintenance operations.
- Optimized Gerrit infrastructure by migrating from a single large instance to a 3-node cluster, reducing EC2 costs by 40% (saving approximately $3,000 per month) and improving reliability.
- Designed and implemented event streaming between multiple Gerrit instances using Kinesis, Kafka, and Zookeeper to handle peak traffic loads.
- Delivered a comprehensive monitoring solution for Gerrit HA components (instances, metrics, ALB/NLB, EBS, RDS) using Prometheus and Grafana.
- Implemented automated disaster recovery and backup/restoration strategies for Gerrit HA using EBS snapshots.
- Delivered client-facing technical and architectural presentations to audiences ranging from 10 to 100 stakeholders.
- Facilitated team-level technical discussions and solution brainstorming sessions across international teams, leading to performance optimizations and preemptive resolution of critical issues.
- Conducted FinOps initiatives and analyses, reducing test environment costs by 50% and production costs by 20% without performance degradation, saving over $5,000 monthly using AWS Cost Explorer and Cost Optimizer.
- Maintained and implemented Jira automation jobs, streamlining release procedures with Python.
- Implemented build, test, and release pipelines using Java, Groovy, Python, AWS SDK, and Jenkins.
- Developed monitoring and observability solutions: created dashboards with Grafana visualizations and alerts, prepared database queries in SQL and Flux for InfluxDB, and implemented Kubernetes and EC2 monitoring with Prometheus; automated incident ticket creation using Grafana, AlertManager, and Jira Alert.
- Performed regular upgrades and maintenance for Jenkins, Gerrit, Kafka, Zookeeper, Terragrunt, Terraform, Terraform Enterprise, InfluxDB, Grafana, Prometheus, Kubernetes, Ubuntu, HAProxy, and Nginx.
- Developed Single Sign-On (SSO) plugins for Gerrit in Java, enabling unified authentication across enterprise systems.
- Implemented a GenAI-powered log analyzer using AWS Bedrock (OpenAI GPT-4.0), reducing incident investigation time by 60% through automated pattern recognition and root cause analysis.
