Projekthistorie
• Architected and built a new AWS/Kubernetes production platform from the ground up using Terraform and Terragrunt.
• Led the infrastructure migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices and drove the new platform through production launch.
• Implemented end-to-end infrastructure and delivery automation with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions, including isolated feature environments for individual
developers and features.
• Established observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana and ELK, and integrated Cloudflare at the platform edge.
• Improved platform security, reliability, resource utilization and cloud cost efficiency.
• Recruited and mentored two DevOps specialists and established shared engineering and operational practices.
Stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Terragrunt, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, ELK, Cloudflare
Applied AI-assisted engineering with Codex/Claude, agentic workflows and OpenAI API to automate DevOps engineering tasks and
accelerate infrastructure troubleshooting and delivery.
Designed and maintained AWS cloud infrastructure improving reliability by 30%. Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform reducing manual errors by 50%. Migrated applications to Kubernetes and optimized resource utilization and scalability. Implemented EFK centralized logging to improve incident investigation and operational visibility.
Managed and evolved cloud production environments using Infrastructure-as-Code tools and GitOps practices across multiple public-cloud platforms. Supported development teams in deployment and operation of cloud-native applications built on managed Kubernetes solutions across different public-cloud environments. Optimised existing processes and infrastructure for efficiency, stability and scalability through continuous improvement initiatives. Advanced CI/CD pipeline development and standardisation of deployment processes as part of refactoring efforts.
