Total experience

I build and operate the systems other engineers ship on — cloud-native infrastructure, delivery pipelines and the backend services that sit on top of them.

Selectedwork

Three systems, each built to remove a specific kind of friction from how software gets shipped and run.

Vulnerashield

AI-powered security & vulnerability scanner

DevSecOps · 2024

A scanning engine that refuses to let a vulnerable build reach production.

01OWASP ZAP wired into an AI anomaly-detection pass, with automated reporting on top.
02Scanner workflows containerised and deployed to Kubernetes so scans scale horizontally.
03Automated severity scoring acts as a hard pipeline gate — vulnerable builds never promote.

CloudGuard

Cloud cost & security posture monitoring

Cloud observability · 2024

Cost and misconfiguration made visible early enough to act on.

01AWS cost monitoring, IAM drift detection and security rule scanning in one surface.
02CloudWatch, Cost Explorer and Security Hub APIs pulled into real-time views.
03Risk and compliance issues surfaced before they turn into an incident or an invoice.

GitOps on EKS

Infrastructure & application delivery, Git as source of truth

Platform engineering · 2024

Every environment change is a commit, reviewable and reversible.

01GitHub Actions and Terraform provision and manage AWS EKS end to end.
02Multi-stage pipelines for infrastructure and application code with approval-based promotion.
03Image build and publish automated, then Git-driven deployments to EKS.
04Repeatable, auditable and rollback-safe by treating Git as the single source of truth.

DevOps Engineer

Full-time

Infrastructure automation, platform reliability and scalable systems across cloud, bare-metal and air-gapped environments.

01Engineered a one-script deployment framework for multi-cloud and bare-metal environments, using Terraform and Ansible to automate provisioning, service dependencies and configuration.
02Architected end-to-end observability with distributed tracing, structured logging and centralized crash reporting for air-gapped environments, reducing MTTR and enabling offline root-cause analysis.
03Modernized CI/CD with fail-fast SAST, secret scanning and Helm linting plus signal-focused Slack alerts, enforcing deployment governance while reducing incident noise.
04Led the transition to a decoupled, event-driven architecture with NATS JetStream, improving asynchronous throughput by 2–3× across distributed services.
05Built a multi-tenant admin platform in Node.js and React and extended the platform with Active Directory, SMB, MySQL and location-based agent integrations.
06Optimized Python and spaCy ML pipelines at the system level, reducing latency by 60% and doubling throughput for large-scale text processing.
07Reverse-engineered legacy service and infrastructure interactions into a structured documentation library, improving onboarding efficiency by 40%.

Softway Solutions

Software Engineer (DevOps & Platform)

Platform reliability and backend performance for a high-availability SaaS product.

01Achieved 99.99% uptime by containerizing services with Docker and deploying across multi-environment setups in AWS EKS.
02Implemented CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Terraform-based IaC, reducing deployment time by 60%.
03Improved reliability and cost efficiency through EKS autoscaling, VPC optimization, CloudWatch observability, and 24/7 on-call incident handling.
04Developed and optimized backend APIs by refactoring slow endpoints and improving PostgreSQL/MySQL queries with indexing and cursor-based pagination.
05Designed asynchronous and data-intensive workflows using Redis (queues, caching) and integrated AWS IoT Core for real-time image/video control pipelines.

InviGrid Co.

Full Stack & DevOps Engineer

Production ownership across application code and the infrastructure under it.

01Managed production systems on AWS EC2 with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, reducing release cycles by 75%.
02Built automated monitoring and alerting for uptime, latency, and API failures using CloudWatch and custom scripts.
03Migrated services to a two-tier cloud architecture, improving scalability while reducing infrastructure costs by 20%.
04Developed deployment automation for Node.js microservices, securing environments using IAM policies and VPC rules.
05Enhanced backend reliability by integrating AWS/GCP APIs, Auth0-protected endpoints, and asynchronous services using Redis and WebSockets for real-time analytics.

Building
Extending my own infrastructure lab on this site — a live Kubernetes playground and architecture generator I keep breaking on purpose.
Exploring
Platform engineering
Going deeper into the systems underneath the applications — Kubernetes, distributed systems, infrastructure automation, observability, security, and making complicated infrastructure reproducible.
Learning
Where AI actually belongs
Experimenting with GenAI and developer tooling, mostly with one question in mind: Does this genuinely make an engineer better, or is it just another layer?
Writing
The production notes
Writing about DevOps the way I've experienced it — Linux, Git, CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, outages, architecture, and the things that become obvious only after you've had to operate them.
Away from the screen
Motorcycles. Long walks. Podcasts.
And an unreasonable amount of time spent thinking about systems that probably didn't need that much thinking.
