Senior DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer with 6+ years owning reliability, scalability, and operability of distributed, high-throughput systems across multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, OVH) and Kubernetes platforms (EKS, Rancher) at scale — from cluster upgrades and stateful workload migrations to ingest-path incident response (Kafka, ZooKeeper, Elasticsearch). Supports ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry-based observability tooling alongside test automation, backed by end-to-end ownership of CI/CD, security & compliance (Wazuh, Qualys, Trivy, Teleport), and Infrastructure as Code — paired with AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code) to accelerate delivery across enterprise BI, search-as-a-service, social care, and healthcare platforms.

10x LB cost reduction EKS zero-downtime migration 49-min DB restore (live DR) 200+ server SSL fleet
  • Executed zero-downtime blue-green EKS node migration (K8s 1.32 → 1.33) across 30+ Deployments and 4 StatefulSets; surfaced Terraform state drift and 45 single-replica downtime risks during multi-environment cluster audit.
  • Led live AuroraDB DR exercise — deleted and restored a 51 GB production-equivalent cluster to identical DNS endpoint in 49 minutes; resolved out-of-VPC edge case blocking application recovery; DR runbook adopted as team standard.
  • Drove 10x reduction in load balancer infrastructure cost; conducted cloud cost analysis across 5 AWS accounts identifying $720/month recoverable from K8s Extended Support charges.
  • Root-caused and resolved 4 simultaneous production incidents: ZooKeeper quorum failure (restored in 71ms, no leader election), Elasticsearch disk pressure, server inode exhaustion, and mass false-positive SSL alert storm.
  • Authored MSK Kafka EOL upgrade plan with 19-point pre-upgrade verification script; identified live broker misconfigurations ahead of upgrade execution.
  • Rebuilt Ansible SSL automation across 200+ servers and 3 production domains with serial-based cert verification, automated rollback on failure, and Slack-integrated reporting.
  • Resolved Teleport RBAC misconfiguration blocking production access across 80+ servers; administered 280-server fleet and enforced identity policies via JumpCloud.
  • Provide ongoing infra support and maintenance for ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry-based observability tooling, integrated with test automation workflows.

Projects

Key Projects

SSL Certificate Fleet Automation
Designed and deployed Ansible-based SSL automation across ~200 servers and 3 domains. Implemented pre-flight validation, automated rollback on failure, and Slack-integrated deployment reporting. Evaluated Sectigo, AWS ACM, and Let's Encrypt against enterprise compliance requirements; authored end-to-end deployment and rollback runbook adopted as the team standard.

Server & Environment Consolidation
Consolidated dedicated servers onto right-sized OVH Public Cloud nodes, cutting compute cost ~51% and unlocking cloud-native shelve/unshelve capability unavailable on dedicated hardware. Simplified a Kubernetes control plane after diagnosing an etcd quorum misconfiguration, removing a load-balancer dependency and further lowering control-plane cost.
OVH Public CloudKubernetes TerraformPython
Weekend Cool-Off Automation for Non-Production Infrastructure
Built a Python automation framework to safely stop/start Kubernetes and cloud database resources in dependency-ordered groups, running live, verified delete/recreate cycles against production-equivalent clusters with zero configuration drift. Found and fixed cross-account credential-isolation bugs before either could cause a wrong-environment production action, and delivered independently-verified backup/restore capability as a safety net ahead of live execution.

Security Compliance & Vulnerability Scanning Automation
Deployed Wazuh SIEM across Azure VM and Kubernetes environments; integrated Trivy for container image scanning; built automated compliance and vulnerability report generation pipeline. Configured WAF and reverse proxy (Nginx, HAProxy, Traefik) for secure ingress; authored DR plan for cloud-hosted infrastructure.
