The most amazing...
...thing I've implemented is the E2E architecture of an internal developer platform for creating demo environments for clients and potential customers.
Work Experience
DevOps
Havit Spaces Holding GmbH
- Developed the entire hosting platform on ECS from scratch via Terraform, resulting in an automated IaC for the client's platform.
- Coordinated the handoff with the external agency team for the code along with its source code.
- Helped the client set up a baseline for communications, coordination using MS Teams, and setting up the AWS organization accounts for multiple environments.
DevOps Consultant
CodeComplete, Inc
- Developed the Terraform code from scratch in Google Cloud to help the client with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) setup of his SaaS machine learning platform.
- Helped the client with the setup of a new project from scratch.
- Used core GCP modules such as Google Compute Engine (GCE), load balancers, private subnets, and more to establish the project infrastructure.
DevOps Engineer
BCG
- Implemented and enforced a Datadog monitoring solution for a SaaS product for the retail industry, enabling observability via metrics, logs, and traces and providing DevOps members better visibility on the platform.
- Worked as part of the team that implemented Terraform for the product from scratch, as well as designed the infrastructure release process for the production environment.
- Led the SOC 2 compliance efforts of the SaaS analytics product, resulting in a SOC 2 Type 1 certification of the platform, as well as the groundwork for the SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
DevOps Consultant
Self-employed
- Implemented a SaaS platform used to create EC2 and Oracle Cloud instances, acting as a content delivery network (CDN) endpoint for a large media house. It reduced endpoint spin-up time to five minutes and was used in the 2020 US general elections.
- Developed end-to-end infrastructure as code using Terraform and Azure DevOps to launch a SaaS product in AWS Cloud.
- Carried out AWS CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline and GitHub) and solution architecture for a SaaS platform in the medical industry.
Site Reliability Engineer
Crest Data Systems
- Developed scripts for the rest of the team members, reducing the toil within the team and enabling smoother maintenance windows for tasks.
- Handled Python-based scripts, allowing the rest of the SREs to perform smooth and process-oriented Splunk app installations in customer environments and enabling accountability for tickets and widespread adoption in the team.
- Migrated Splunk cloud environments to newer Terraform and Puppet-based automation solutions from the legacy CloudFormation and Ansible-based customer stacks.
