I’m a DevOps / Platform Engineer and Solution Architect with 18 years of experience building reliable, scalable cloud-native platforms for product teams. I specialize in AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and strong observability (Grafana/Prometheus, Datadog/APM, logging, SLOs/alerting) to keep systems fast, stable, and easy to operate as they scale—especially for web apps and asynchronous job/queue workers.
What makes me unique is that I combine “builder” and “operator” thinking: I design clean infrastructure and automation, but I’m equally comfortable owning production reliability—incident response, performance bottlenecks, cost-aware scaling, and pragmatic security guardrails (IAM, networking/DNS). I’m seeking a remote, product-focused DevOps role in Europe where I can help teams ship confidently and enhance reliability as the product evolves.

• Embedded with enterprise customers to integrate AI agents into production systems safely and reliably, turning real operational workflows into governed automation.
• Designed end-to-end agent workflows across Slack/Teams, Jira, GitHub/GitLab, Kubernetes, AWS**, and internal platforms (SSO, CMDB, ticketing, on-call).
• Shipped AI agents and configured skills and custom MCP servers that run in real environments with clear controls: environment separation, rollout strategy, and operational ownership.
• Built/extended integrations for APIs, CLIs, and internal services; normalized data and actions so agents can operate across heterogeneous stacks.
• Enforced human-in-the-loop approvals, change windows, dry-runs, idempotency, retries, and rate limiting to prevent unsafe automation.
• Instrumented agent runs with metrics/logs/traces, SLOs, alerting, and runbooks; diagnose failures and improve resiliency under load.
• Delivered reusable templates for common enterprise automations (access requests, deploys, rollbacks, service health checks, compliance evidence).
• Translated enterprise constraints into roadmap input: governance features, connector needs, scalability, and reliability improvements.

• Provided frontline support for an internal observability platform and operational tooling via Slack and ticketing (roughly
50/50), handling rapid fixes as well as end-to-end onboarding for highly technical engineers.
• Troubleshot monitoring and alerting failures across the internal monitoring stack, performing structured triage and
root-cause analysis, then delivering high-signal handoffs to Engineering and SRE to reduce repeat escalations.
• Diagnosed Linux runtime and infrastructure issues using logs and process and network debugging, applying practical
TCP/IP troubleshooting to shorten time to resolution during incidents.
• Supported OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing pipelines by identifying gaps in signals and instrumentation and driving
configuration and documentation updates that improved end-to-end service visibility.
• Created and maintained customer-facing and internal runbooks, onboarding playbooks, and knowledge base articles;
analyzed recurring support trends and fed prioritized fixes back to Engineering and SRE to improve tooling and self-service
at scale
