The fast all-around solution for tracking your portfolio and getting your news in one place. This is a project I have developed for the past two years, and since it's my startup, I had to do everything from the ground up.

Created a Docker-based workflow for effortless use among the developers and prepared the application for deployment. After discussions with the client, we concluded that the best way to go is with Kubernetes. With that, I created the necessary infrastructure and scripts for deployment in GCP. The client and developers were thrilled with their environment and the fact they didn't need constant supervision of the whole process.

I carried out a project for migrating a Google App Engine Java application to Kubernetes. The project involved the entire infrastructure set-up, deployments, logging transformation, and monitoring using Grafana and Prometheus. Istio was implemented as a service mesh to support customer services, allowing for easier deployments and traffic handling.

The process was entirely manual before I undertook the project and this meant it took more than an hour to create users in the proper systems for a newly hired employee.

After completion, the suite successfully interacts with Microsoft Flow and Microsoft SharePoint to fetch all of the relevant data and from there provision the user profiles in a number of different systems (Google G Suite, Office 365, LDAP, VPN User). The suite also assigns appropriate privileges and groups depending on the profile of the employee.

For this project, I initially containerized their application and created a flow for the app developers to work effortlessly. During discussions with the client, we concluded that Kubernetes for flexibility and scale is the way to go. So I deployed the infrastructure to GCP and created the necessary process and scripts to allow a smooth workflow and deployment. Documentation accompanied every detail.

This project revolves around getting corporations to choose Mattermost as their corporate chat application. We had to use a custom build of the opensource application to add some additional features and styles that we needed. I took on this project and created an automated setup which takes new versions of the application, adds, and tests our configuration/code to the new core version and deploys it to the Google Play or Apple Store.

This migration required a lot of planning, technical analysis, and careful execution to run smoothly. In this project, I was in charge of building scripts that enabled the seamless transfer of users and their data.
