The most amazing...
...project I've done is to help a SaaS company transition from monolithic to a microservice-based architecture on AWS.
Work Experience
Senior DevOps Engineer
CoW Protocol
- Wrote and deployed infrastructure as code from scratch using Pulumi. Integrated Grafana, Prometheus, Amazon EKS, AWS SSO (now AWS IAM Identity Center), ElastAlert, and Fluentd into the DevOps stack.
- Developed a reliable and scalable Ethereum node infrastructure at a quarter of the cost of what the external providers were offering.
- Integrated OpsGenie, an incident response tool that provides reliable notifications for downtime incidents. This improved our response time to an incident from eight hours (when the on-call goes to sleep) to less than 10 minutes.
- Implemented a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment and release process for Kubernetes applications.
- Identified, implemented, and monitored the SLIs for different microservices and ensured that they were within SLA.
Senior DevOps Engineer
Sanas.ai
- Developed a data preparation pipeline based on serverless infrastructure using AWS Lambda and AWS Step Functions from scratch.
- Built CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment to staging and production environments.
- Processed millions of S3 files into Amazon DynamoDB using Lambda and AWS Step Functions.
- Wrote automation for daily reports parsing DynamoDB and S3 data.
Lead DevOps Engineer
Jsgenesis
- Built and maintained the development, staging, and production infrastructure for the Joystream blockchain on AWS.
- Automated stack deployment of various components on AWS EKS Kubernetes clusters using Pulumi.

Experience
Automated Blockchain Network Deployment
https://github.com/Joystream/joystream/pull/2410• Wrote GitHub action workflow to deploy the infrastructure from the GitHub UI.
• The scripts created geographically dispersed EC2 instances with custom configuration, security groups, S3 buckets, and CloudFront distribution.
Jive Migration to VMware on AWS
• Designed the network topology and deployed it for every workload.
• Performed a replatform analysis to evaluate modifications in the product to adapt it to the cloud.
• Wrote scripts to automate the lift-and-shift process.
• Migrated workloads to the cloud (over 1,000 servers and 200 containers).
Merging Ten VMware SDDCs into a Single SDDC
• Created an API-based workflow (in FastAPI) that would communicate with HCX and VMware vSphere APIs.
Continuous Delivery Architecture for 3-tier Node Application
Project Details:
