Senior DevOps & Cloud-Native Engineer. I design secure delivery platforms, automate infrastructure, and make distributed systems easier to operate.

I'm also the creator of ObserveX, an observability command center being built at Litanovo Labs to bring deployment intelligence, service health, security signals, and incident context into one operational view.

I have 6+ years of experience working across bare-metal and cloud environments, with a focus on Kubernetes, GitOps, DevSecOps, reliability, and platform engineering. I enjoy turning fragile manual processes into repeatable systems that teams can trust.

• Production Kubernetes platforms on RKE2, EKS, and AKS
• GitOps delivery with Argo CD, Flux, and automated CI/CD pipelines
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Ansible, and Python
• DevSecOps controls using SonarQube, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, Checkov, Falco, and Vault
• Observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack
• Platform reliability, release safety, incident readiness, and deployment intelligence

An observability command center for teams operating modern applications. ObserveX is being designed to connect service health, deployments, infrastructure signals, security findings, and incident workflows so engineers can understand what changed and respond faster.

Its deployment-intelligence capability, DeployTrack, helps teams connect releases to operational impact and build confidence in delivery.

• Automated highly available RKE2 cluster provisioning on bare metal, reducing manual setup time by 70%
• Improved deployment frequency by 60% through GitOps and secure CI/CD automation
• Reduced credential-exposure risk by 85% through centralized secrets management with HashiCorp Vault
• Improved incident detection and response through OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing
• Built security checks into delivery pipelines with static analysis, image scanning, dynamic testing, and policy controls
