As a DevOps technical lead with extensive experience in creating complex and secure solutions on AWS cloud, I have a proven track record of integrating multiple tools to achieve production-grade quality. Currently, I serve as the Head of DevOps at sysdogs, where I lead the migration of on-premise solutions to AWS, design and implement AWS infrastructure, bootstrap Kubernetes clusters, and establish comprehensive CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, I develop complete observability solutions using tools like Prometheus and New Relic. My core expertise includes working with AWS, Terraform, Spacelift, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and Github Actions. In my previous roles, I have led various high-impact projects, such as architecting cloud service solutions for a virtual bank in Hong Kong at GFT, where I managed a team of over 100 people. I also executed a zero-downtime migration from Digital Ocean to AWS for Sternkraft, and developed CI/CD systems for TomTom's navigation engine. My technical skills are complemented by my experience in team leadership, recruitment, and technical mentoring. I hold certifications as an AWS Solutions Architect and AWS DevOps Engineer, and possess a strong educational background with an MSc in Computer Science.Tech Stack
