I'm working in an Agile project based environment, in a DevOps team on several major projects. Depending on the complexity I can prepare and implement deployments to pre-production and production environments, including pre-installation, configuration, and testing of the developed solutions. Some of the projects require continuous integration and a lot of time spent with developers and testing teams. I identify, analyze, and promptly highlight as relevant, any key issues and/or risks. I try to always focus on delivering consistent, reliable, repeatable and scalable outcomes.Right now I'm involved in a big project in which I'm part of the infrastructure team where we play a lot with: Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Prometheus (plus a ton of exporters and Alertmanager), Grafana, ELK, Spark, Cassandra and Kafka. We always try to find new technologies that might help us do our job easier or faster.Another project that I worked on a "log as a service" solution based on ELK and fully automated with Ansible (used Chef in the past) on top of a Mesos cluster. Now the solution is being migrated to Openshift v4.For a small period I worked in parallel on a big data project and a mail solution. The first was automated with Foreman & Chef and the second with Terraform & Ansible. I also worked on MyOrange app, more precisely the deployment of the latest stable versions of the app. I've done it with Ansible, gitbal-ci and Jenkins. I also implemented the infrastructure on Openstack with Heat and later with Terraform.I also participate in the up-skilling and training of colleagues and new staff. As part of this I also do demos, trainings and workshops on Ansible scripting and ELK stack - based on my projects or for general use, best practices etc. In May 2017 I presented a small monitoring solution for docker containers in a meetup: https://www.meetup.com/devops_hackers/events/239994072/
