About

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Berlin with a track record spanning fintech, e-commerce, telecom, and media — from public-sector-grade infrastructure at Televic Rail to high-scale microservices at OLX Group and DealShare. I specialize in cloud architecture (AWS & Azure), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm), infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, New Relic, ELK). I care about reliability, automation, and making deployments boring — in a good way.

How I Ship Software

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION CONTINUOUS DELIVERY — IaC & ORCHESTRATION OBSERVABILITY & FEEDBACK deploy artifact ship telemetry feeds back into the next commit Commit & PR GitHub + branch protection CI Trigger Jenkins · GitLab CI Test & Scan unit/integration + Trivy SAST Containerize Docker multi-stage build Push Artifact Amazon ECR / Azure ACR Provision Infra Terraform plan → apply Config Mgmt Ansible playbooks Helm Release versioned chart deploy Progressive Rollout canary / blue-green Prod Cluster Amazon EKS / Azure AKS Telemetry Prometheus · Loki · Tempo Dashboards Grafana Alerting New Relic · Datadog Incident Response on-call + runbooks Rollback / Fix auto-rollback or fix-forward

Source control gates every change into CI, where it's built, tested, and scanned once into an immutable artifact. That artifact is promoted through IaC-provisioned environments via progressive delivery (canary/blue-green), and the resulting cluster feeds a full observability stack — metrics, logs, and traces — whose alerts drive incident response and roll straight back into the next commit.
