DevOps & Platform Engineering

Experienced Head of DevOps and former Lead SRE Engineer with a strong track record of building and maintaining resilient, scalable infrastructure in microservice-oriented environments. A people manager and active participant in on-call rotations, with a passion for platform stability, developer experience, and continuous improvement.

Skilled across the full DevOps and Platform Engineering toolchain — containerisation and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, load balancing with HAProxy and Nginx, observability with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and Zabbix, and messaging with RabbitMQ. Proficient in CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Maven, and scripting in Bash, Python, and Groovy.

Experienced with data platforms including Cassandra, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Greenplum, and CloudberryDB. Hands-on with AWS services including ECS, EKS, ECR, and CodeArtifact, with deep Linux administration experience on Ubuntu and Debian.

An avid self-hoster, I run my own home infrastructure — applying the same engineering rigour to my personal lab as I do in production.
