Senior DevOps & Agentic Platform Engineer · Cloud Architect
I design, build and run secure, highly available cloud platforms for mission-critical financial services. My focus: AWS, Kubernetes, Internal Developer Platforms, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps and observability. I own the full infrastructure lifecycle — from architecture and automation to operations, troubleshooting and cost optimisation.
An Internal Developer Platform for high-throughput payment systems and AI/LLM workloads. Production EKS with Karpenter; Cilium and ACK; GitOps with ArgoCD and Helm; multi-region Terraform and GitLab CI; infrastructure for Temenos, SWIFT, SEPA integrations.
AWS for a ML/AI-driven project platform. 80+ SOC 2 controls, a multi-account AWS setup, cloud spend down 25–30%, Karpenter and Istio, monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana and Datadog.
Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, Python automation, deployment reliability up ~40%.
Large-scale private cloud, 99.99% availability, incident response, backup and DR.
AWS and Azure with Kubernetes and Terraform, deployment lead time down 35%, GitOps with ArgoCD, multi-cloud DR.
VMware, private cloud, high availability and DR, virtualisation, networking, ISO 27001 and security programmes.
Real-time object detection over 10M+ records. EKS, ArgoCD, Fargate, SQS with DLQ, multi-account Organizations and SSO, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Terraform, Terragrunt, Atmos.
Cloud Run, Vertex AI, Pub/Sub, Eventarc, Workflows, Terragrunt. Infrastructure costs down 25–30% while meeting latency requirements.
S3, CloudFront and a Lambda Function URL with DynamoDB, all in Terraform, with OIDC deploys from GitHub Actions. A cost audit cut the AWS bill from $13.66 to $0.66/month (−95%).
Architecture proposal and Terraform POC for a SaaS scaling from hundreds of users to millions: multi-account AWS, EKS with Karpenter (Graviton + Spot, multi-arch), Pod Identity and IRSA, RDS → Aurora path, 6-phase roadmap.
Terragrunt-built EKS 1.33 across 3 AZs: IRSA, Cluster Autoscaler, HPA, AWS Load Balancer Controller, ACM and Route 53 — end-to-end HTTPS.
FARGATE + FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers, ALB with blue/green weighted routing, Fluent Bit sidecar shipping logs to Kinesis Firehose, Cloud Map service discovery.
Event streaming environment in Terraform with an Azure Pipelines definition and Python producers and consumers.
Container Registry, Key Vault with access policies and Linux VMs in Terraform, cloud-init bootstrap and a generated Ansible inventory.
I spend most of my free time outdoors, playing various sports and travelling around Europe.
When forced indoors, I enjoy wandering around the city, listening to opera and reading books.
