At B2Broker, I lead a team of 20+ DevOps engineers, driving infrastructure scalability and resilience through advanced Kubernetes solutions like Karpenter and multi-AZ configurations. I spearheaded the centralization of GitLab instances and implemented multi-tenant architectures for Grafana and ArgoCD, ensuring seamless integration with GitOps principles.• Management of several teams of 20+ DevOps.• Transition from 12 GitLab instances to a single centralized one.• Wrote a Kubernetes operator for managing Grafana content (using Kubebuilder).• Designed and implemented multi-tenancy for Grafana with a custom access rights implementation for the datasource and synchronization with an OIDC provider.• Designed and implemented multi-tenancy for an ArgoCD cluster, where the configuration is also managed according to GitOps principles.• Improvement of resilience and scalability of k8s clusters (karpenter + multi-AZ).• Enhancing code quality through the implementation of cross-review practices, static code analysis, conventional commits, and pre-commit hooks.• Establishing processes for on-call night shifts and incident response.

At Solartrip OTA, I built a bleeding-edge cloud infrastructure from the ground up, consisting of more than 40 microservices running on an EKS cluster. During my tenure, I handled the management of the DevOps, Backend, and Support departments. • Managed DevOps, Backend and support departments.• Designed and implemented dynamic branch-specific sandbox environments based on the “env-per-issue” approach using Istio.• Developed custom K8s controllers for dynamic sandboxes (garbage collection) and Jira automation (release management, issue transitions, etc.) using Golang.• Created a Helm chart for the open-source Riak database, along with a custom replica set controller.• Collaborated with a team of two to build the entire infrastructure from scratch in less than a year, which included: - Setting up 3 fault-tolerant multi-zone EKS clusters for product, infrastructure, and sandbox. - Developing Helm charts for 44 custom product microservices deployed using ArgoCD, with finely tuned auto-scaling policies. - Implementing External DNS for DNS record management. - Configuring Certmanager for certificate issuing. - Establishing two ELK stacks (prod and development). - Deploying Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager for monitoring. - Utilizing Jenkins as a CI tool. - Implementing backups using Velero and a custom backup controller. - Managing replica sets for MongoDB, Postgres, MySQL, Vertica, Redis, and RabbitMQ within K8s. - Creating a custom Redis replication controller in K8s (using HAProxy). - Implementing Istio service mesh in development and Nginx ingress controller in production. - Using External Secret Operator for secret synchronization and integration with HashiCorp Vault.• Achieved 100% Infrastructure as Code (IaC) coverage in the DevOps team.• Motivated and inspired employees through regular internal tech conferences.• Developed an incident response plan and conducted periodic training.• Played a significant role in the onboarding Due Diligence.
