Engaged across enterprise environments to design, build, and operate production-critical cloud platforms on AWS, GCP, and Azure, focused on concrete outcomes: faster delivery, higher reliability, lower cost. Selected achievements: - Migrated legacy on-premise and multi-regional workloads to containerized, cloud-native architectures (EKS, GKE, AKS) across 3 continents (EMEA, AMER, ASIA). - Built and operated production Kubernetes platforms serving 300+ projects, with multi-tenancy, automated upgrades, and traffic management (Istio, Helm). - Standardized provisioning with reusable Terraform / Terragrunt modules and an internal registry, cutting setup time by ~70% and eliminating configuration drift. - Designed end-to-end CI/CD and GitOps workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), reducing deployment lead time by 60% with automated rollback. - Implemented observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) that cut MTTR by ~45% and improved availability. - Led a FinOps initiative reducing cloud spend by 50% through right-sizing and resource optimization. - Embedded cloud security and compliance (IAM, HashiCorp Vault, Kyverno, policy-as-code) across 15+ application teams. - Validated resilience through chaos engineering (LitmusChaos) and disaster-recovery testing against SLA targets. - Primary escalation point for complex production incidents; trained 6 regional engineering teams.

I help development teams build and ship backend and full-stack applications, while laying the foundations for reliable and automated delivery. My approach is hands-on and pragmatic, focused on writing clean, maintainable code and setting up the tooling that makes teams more productive from day one. Typical responsibilities and outcomes: – Developing backend and full-stack features using Java, PHP (Symfony), Vue.js, and Node.js, within structured architectures (Clean Architecture, MVC) – Designing and optimizing database schemas and SQL queries to improve application performance and reliability – Setting up initial CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins to automate builds, tests, and deployments – Deploying and managing applications on cloud infrastructure (AWS ECS, EC2) using Terraform – Writing unit and functional tests to ensure software stability across releases – Producing technical documentation to support maintainability and team knowledge transfer
