CI/CD and IaC for a Fintech Startup

I started this project by architecting the CI/CD pipelines and the entire cloud infrastructure. After the customer approved the proposed solutions, I implemented the CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and the required infrastructure with Terraform. The solution included a CDN, a Kubernetes cluster deployed on an autoscaling group, WAF integration, and databases using MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis.

Animation Platform project

The customer delivers lightweight, scalable animations and the tooling needed to create such animations for websites, apps, presentations, etc. The infrastructure includes CI/CD pipelines, several EKS clusters in different VPCs (interconnected for some shared services), and a virtual Kubernetes cluster provided for dev teams. It also includes IaC with Terraform and Pulumi, plus monitoring with federated Prometheus, Thanos, and Grafana.

Cryptocurrency Platform

Multiple Google Cloud Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Cluster-based deployments with full CI/CD (CircleCI). Helm charts deployed via ArgoCD (GitOps). Monitoring with Datadog and custom python monitoring modules.
