Selected platform work

Platforms and automation I designed, built, and operated in production.

Internal Developer Platform

  • Kubernetes
  • Argo CD
  • GitOps
  • Helm

Self-service deployment workflows that let product teams provision their own namespaces, pipelines, and observability without filing a ticket with the platform team. Templated golden paths replaced one-off environment requests, and GitOps made every change reviewable and reversible.

Terraform IaC module library

Reusable modules for AWS network, compute, and Kubernetes provisioning, published so every team builds environments the same way. New-environment setup dropped from days to hours.

  • Terraform
  • AWS
  • Remote state

CI/CD delivery pipeline

GitLab CI with self-hosted runners on Kubernetes for elastic, isolated build capacity, and Argo CD for continuous delivery. Jib built images straight from Gradle and Maven, which removed privileged Docker builds from the cluster and cut image build times.

  • GitLab CI
  • Argo CD
  • Jib
  • FastAPI
  • Spring Boot

AI and LLM infrastructure

GPU-backed containerized LLM and Jupyter workloads on Kubernetes, exposed through FastAPI and Streamlit endpoints to support AI-assisted engineering workflows and internal developer productivity tooling.

  • GPU scheduling
  • Kubernetes
  • FastAPI
  • Streamlit

Observability and FinOps

Enterprise monitoring across Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenSearch to shorten incident detection and response, paired with FinOps-driven rightsizing that improved cloud resource utilization.

  • Datadog
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
  • OpenSearch

Experience
