I keep systems running — and fix them fast when they don't.

About

Cloud & DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience deploying and troubleshooting cloud-native environments on Microsoft Azure and AWS, building production-style projects on AKS and EKS with Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD and observability tooling. Completed a 400-hour DevOps Engineering Bootcamp and is now seeking a first professional cloud or platform engineering role.

I bring an operations mindset to engineering: understanding failures, finding root causes and improving systems rather than just keeping them running. That shows up in production-style projects on AKS and EKS, and in a progressive career at DHL — from warehouse and customs operations to transport planning and, since August 2023, leading a seven-person fleet team with roughly a 10% operational cost reduction.

Career transition in progress: from leading transport and fleet operations to building and operating cloud-native infrastructure — same underlying skill, keeping a complex, time-critical system running and improving it deliberately.

Also following where the discipline is heading next — Site Reliability Engineering as DevOps applied to production reliability at scale, and MLOps as the same principles applied to shipping and operating machine learning systems.

Projects

Two production-style DevOps builds from the Ironhack bootcamp — one on Azure AKS, one on AWS EKS.

Restauranty — Azure AKS DevOps Platform

Containerized microservices platform, deployed and operated on Azure Kubernetes Service, with an AI assistant wired into live cluster and security data.

Flagship project Browser NGINX Ingress Auth service Items service Discounts service MongoDB AI Assistant approved ops only Prometheus / Grafana / Loki metrics, dashboards, logs Cowrie Honeypot isolated namespace, SSH/Telnet Docker images → Azure Container Registry → GitHub Actions CI/CD → Trivy scan → AKS
  • Containerized four core application services with Docker and deployed them to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) through Azure Container Registry, using Kubernetes resources, NGINX Ingress, DNS and TLS to create a repeatable production-style cloud environment.
  • Implemented CI/CD with GitHub Actions and passwordless Azure OIDC authentication, then added Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Grafana Alloy for metrics and centralized logging across 6+ components.
  • Used Trivy, kubectl and Linux troubleshooting to identify 50+ HIGH/CRITICAL image findings and resolve networking, authentication, MongoDB and resource-management incidents — and added Cowrie security-event summaries surfaced through an AI-assisted interface.

"Instead of manually going through logs, the goal was to ask ‘are my pods healthy?’ or ‘what commands did the attacker execute?’ — the assistant routes the request to an approved operation and returns a human-readable answer, never raw shell or database access."

Cloud-Native Voting Application — AWS EKS

Multi-stack distributed voting app, provisioned end to end on AWS with Terraform.

  • Deployed a five-component Dockerized application (vote, result, worker, PostgreSQL and Redis) to Amazon EKS with Kubernetes, producing a working end-to-end microservices environment.
  • Provisioned version-controlled AWS infrastructure with Terraform, including VPC networking, EC2, S3 and DynamoDB remote-state locking.
  • Configured HTTPS, autoscaling and monitoring with NGINX Ingress, Route 53, cert-manager, HPA, Prometheus and Grafana; diagnosed DNS, TLS, networking and CPU-request failures across a two-node cluster.
