DevOps Engineer

Infrastructure that ships itself

I design CI/CD pipelines, container platforms and cloud infrastructure that let teams deploy on every push - without fear.

WHAT I BUILD

Projects, scripts & apps

A selection of tools and platforms I have designed, automated and shipped.

  • GitOps pipeline platform

    Argo CD-based delivery platform with automated rollbacks, drift detection and preview environments for 12 microservices.

  • Zero-downtime deploy script

    Bash and Ansible toolkit that blue-green deploys Docker services behind Traefik with health-check gates and instant rollback.

  • Observability stack

    Prometheus, Loki and Grafana deployment with prebuilt dashboards and alerting rules wired to Slack and PagerDuty.

  • Serverless cost monitor

    Python app that tags, tracks and reports cloud spend daily, cutting an unused-resource bill by surfacing idle workloads.

  • K8s homelab cluster

    Self-hosted three-node Kubernetes cluster running GitOps, backups with Velero and encrypted secrets via Sealed Secrets.

  • IaC module library

    Reusable Terraform modules for VPCs, EKS and RDS used across multiple client projects with automated compliance checks.

ABOUT

Engineer first, automator always

I am a DevOps engineer who believes infrastructure should be boring - versioned, tested and rebuilt from scratch at any moment. My work sits where developers and operations meet: pipelines, platforms and the scripts that hold them together.

I got here the hands-on way: administering servers, breaking clusters in homelabs and fixing them, then turning every incident into a script so it never happens twice. Documentation and automation beat heroics every time.

What drives me is the moment a team deploys confidently on a Friday afternoon - because the pipeline, the rollback path and the alerts are all already in place.

  • Focus Automation & platform engineering
  • Working style Remote, async, documented
  • Principle Everything as code

HOW I WORK

From audit to automation

  1. Week 1

    Audit

    We map your current setup: repos, pipelines, infrastructure and pain points.

  2. Week 1-2

    Design

    I propose an automation plan with priorities, tooling choices and a rollback path.

  3. Weeks 2-5

    Build

    Pipelines, IaC and monitoring go live incrementally, verified in staging first.

  4. Week 6

    Handover

    Documentation, runbooks and a walkthrough so your team owns the platform.
