Sr. DevOps Engineer

Luxoft / SKF

After two years at Accedia, I decided to part ways with them but it turned out that the customer I was working for liked what I've done for them and decided to reach out back to me. This resulted in me working for the same customer.

Responsibilities:

• Support teams with infrastructure architecture designs / reviews
• Support teams with technical implementation of new technologies
• Code reviews of external contractors' code
• Implementation of new technology stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Pagerduty, similar)
• Upgrades of our existing Kubernetes / Terraform infrastructure
• Crafting POCs and presenting them to company board meetings
• Evaluate colleagues' performance

• JavaScript/TypeScript/Node.JS: I’ve built a full-fledged serverless web application I wrote by myself that had the functionality that another team’s been trying to implement for a couple of months.
• 3 internal APIs built: Changing lines in GIT, Generating and updating Azure APIM local gateway key, Generating Azure bearer tokens
• GitOps, Kubernetes: I managed to extend our previous stack to include monitoring, and automate the deployment to all clusters. I created pipelines that automatically update Kubernetes versions which removed a lot of the manual work that needed to be done. I created OPA pipelines that automatically evaluated the Terraform Plan response and executed specific actions

Jr. System Administrator, Sentia Services

Sentia Group

Being my first job, working in Sentia, I learned the importance of reaction and stress resilience in a Mission-Critical environment. I was part of a team supporting enterprise clients on a 24/7 contract with strict SLAs. I was in constant communication with executives and solution architects which helped me elevate my soft skills in a business environment. From operational point of view, I worked on 12-hr shifts keeping all environments up and running, while performing software/system updates, surprising patches and security hardening of the infrastructure.

The key technologies I work with or gained knowledge, above fundamental, are:

• MSSQL, MySql, PostgreSQL
• Apache, Nginx, IIS
• Linux(RedHat and Debian distributions) and Windows(Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016)
• HAProxy, Varnish, F5 LBs
• VMWare vSphere, Azure, AWS
