Experience
- Environment Transition for a Fast-growing Startup to a Microservice-oriented Infrastructure (Development)
The number of users of this online learning platform grew dramatically, so the infrastructure needed to be redesigned. The final result was a fast, secure and scalable cloud solution, which also supports developers' effective workflow.
- Scalable AWS Infrastructure for High-traffic Campaign Website (Development)
Created an auto-scaling environment using AWS services to serve high-traffic website using Terraform. The system was prepared to handle short-term peaks by setting up fast modification periods which helped to keep it cost effective too.
- Migration of Complete Web Hosting Infrastructure (Development)
Migrated a few thousands hosting accounts to a new, scalable, secure, and fast infrastructure. Resolved all issues, client requests, and dependencies. This project took about a year from planning to completion.
