I’m a Senior Engineer with extensive hands-on experience in automating, managing, and securing complex infrastructures. My expertise spans multiple domains, from CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native architectures to hypervisor management and networking. I love the entire spectrum of IT—whether it's fine-tuning system performance, designing robust CI/CD pipelines for multi-platform environments, or managing production-ready Kubernetes clusters.

• GitLab CI/CD: Advanced pipeline setups for multi-platform monorepos (Java, Flutter, iOS, Angular, and NX-managed projects) and custom configurations for complex workflows. Expertise in self-hosted GitLab administration, including setting up runners, fine-tuning server performance, managing bare-metal installations, and disaster recovery.

• Kubernetes & GitOps: Advanced knowledge in Kubernetes for deployment, microservices architecture, and full cluster management. Proficient in implementing GitOps methodologies with ArgoCD, FluxCD, and Fleet for seamless application deployments.

• Cloud & Hypervisor Solutions: Proficient in managing Kubernetes clusters with Rancher and implementing persistent storage solutions with Longhorn. Experienced in Harvester for HCI environments and Proxmox for hypervisor management.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong capabilities in Terraform for automating the creation of guest VMs in Proxmox via cloud-init templates and using Ansible for various automation tasks, including setting up production-grade Kubernetes clusters.

• Cybersecurity & SSDLC: Experienced in establishing secure software development lifecycles (SSDLC) by integrating tools like SonarQube, Trivy, Harbor, and NeuVector for SAST and DAST scans within automated pipelines. I also practice penetration testing to enhance the security of my solutions.

• Networking & System Administration: Comprehensive knowledge of networking, system security, and infrastructure management, making me versatile across DevOps and SysOps roles.

• CI/CD: GitLab, Jenkins
• Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes
• IaC: Terraform
• CaC: Ansible
• GitOps: ArgoCD, FluxCD, Fleet
• Hypervisors: Proxmox, vSphere, Harvester (HCI)
• Networking: Advanced knowledge of networking concepts, firewall configuration, and system-level performance optimization.
• Linux Administration

I'm a fast learner with a natural ability to grasp and master new technologies quickly. Whether it's a new DevOps tool, a cutting-edge cloud solution, or a complex infrastructure problem, I dive deep, implement best practices, and optimize processes to ensure maximum efficiency.
