• Designed and validated an active-active failover pattern across regionally distributed AKS clusters, targeting 99.999%+ availability versus the existing 99.9% baseline. Proved the platform path in staging, adapted Terraform, Argo CD, and CI/CD workflows, and identified the product-workload changes required for true multi-region traffic balancing; findings became the basis for the product teams' 2027 resilience roadmap.
• Eliminated Parloa's public cloud attack surface by designing and rolling out a hub-and-spoke network topology in Terraform: every previously public resource now sits behind Private Endpoints in a zero-trust perimeter, reached by all 150 engineers via Azure VPN. Kubernetes ingress now terminates at Application Gateway with WAF and DDoS protection.
• Drove the infrastructure platform team's Deployment Unit design: a Crossplane XDeploymentUnit abstraction, now being adopted by production teams, that lets product teams declare service components and Azure dependencies in one manifest while the platform provisions Kubernetes workloads, Workload Identity, private networking, RBAC, runtime configuration, and Azure PaaS resources through GitOps release channels.
• Assessed Cluster API for stamp provisioning and recommended postponing adoption due to operational complexity; the team instead adopted Terramate-managed Terraform stacks as the lower-risk path for repeatable stamp automation.

• Diagnosed and documented the largest reliability and lead-time risks in Lulalend's CI/CD pipelines, presented findings and a remediation plan to technical and business stakeholders, and supported the team in beginning implementation.
• Kicked off a centrally managed infrastructure-as-code project in Terraform that shortened environment provisioning from weeks to hours.

• Assumed end-to-end responsibility for the custom Keycloak IDM (Jakarta EE, JavaScript, Terraform, Kubernetes/Kustomize) - deployment, maintenance, evolution, and onboarding of internal and external consumers.
• Delivered a new file upload component (Azure Functions + Kubernetes) enabling consumers to upload files into the Salesforce CRM with virus scanning in the request path.
• Designed and built the integration layer for the third-party cookie consent platform across the company's web properties.
• Improved monitoring and alerting on the ELK stack (Elastic Cloud).

• Designed and delivered a fully serverless Merchant Portal on AWS (CloudFront, API Gateway, Cognito, Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB; TypeScript/JavaScript) consuming PPRO's new (unreleased) payments API.
• Established infrastructure-as-code, test strategy, and GitLab Enterprise deployment pipelines that enabled stakeholder-driven promotion to production.
• Worked with SecOps to define a new deployment pattern for serverless applications using AWS CDK, adopted as the team's standard.

I worked on a project Bunzl Europe, one of Europe?s largest Logistics enterprises. Goal of the project was to deliver a RESTful API to ingest documents into a Datalake store to kick of Bunzl?s new Datalake Analytics framework. The solution was implemented on Azure Cloud utilizing API Management, Azure Functions, Azure Storage Accounts and CosmosDB. The following tasks had to be performed as part of the project:

• Liaising with business stakeholders from different departments for information gathering and formalising of business requirements
• Breaking down of requirements into Epics, User Stories and Tasks
• Planning and implementation of CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps utilising PowerShell Scripts
• Writing of highly modular Terraform templates for Infrastructure as Code
• Implementing of Test Strategy consisting of Unit Tests, Integration Tests and Acceptance Tests
• Documentation and handover of solution to client

• Migrated the BackOfficeApps2.0 deployment pipelines from AWS/Bash to Azure DevOps/ PowerShell, aligning with the company's new cloud direction.
• Replaced flaky shared build agents with a self-hosted Azure Cloud Agent module (Packer + Terraform), stabilising build pipelines for the team.

• Designed and iterated the prototype mobile app and Azure backend (API Management, Azure Functions, Media Services, Cognitive Services) that became the company's working product.
• Drove the architectural shift from Azure Functions to a Kubernetes-hosted backend as the product scaled, with infrastructure managed in Terraform and CI/CD on Azure DevOps.

I joined Equal Expert?s network as an Associate. I was brought into a project with a large German financial services provider. The work was mainly focused on the below:

• Liaise with client?s infrastructure provisioning team
• Implement CI/CD pipeline to
• Work with Tech- and Development Leads to establish best practices, evaluate solutions to specific problems and ensure a smooth Path to Production
• Establish best practices in the DevOps team in the following areas: infrastructure provisioning, testing strategy, packaging and deployment of build artifacts, monitoring and alerting

The following technologies were mainly utilized during this project: Kubernetes, Docker, Gitlab, Cypress, Rancher

The main outputs of the project were a web application with a frontend written in React/Typescript and a backend written in Java/SpringBoot. Various external components had to be integrated with, including but not limited to:

• PostreSQL as DB backend
• Keycloak for OAuth authentication
• Microsoft Exchange for sending and receiving emails
• WebDAV for sharing and collaborating on Microsoft Word and Excel documents

I started my contract with Asos.com Ltd in November 2017. I was mainly working with the Data Science team. My responsibilities at Asos generally fell into two different areas:

• Onboard Data Ingestion Services developed by a 3rd party supplier in C#. As part of this project I was mainly exposed to the following technologies:
  • Microsoft Azure Cloud, Team City, Octopus Deploy, ARM Templates, Powershell Scripting, Azure ServiceFabric, Git
• Working alongside Data Engineers and Database Developers to help them release projects through various environments into production. The following technologies and tools were used to accomplish this:
  • ?Team ?City, Octopus Deploy, Azure Data Factories, Azure Functions, TFS and VSTS for Version Control

I have started working at Sainsbury Plc in October 2016 on an initial 6-month contract which has been extended twice. After working alongside the Windows DevOps Engineering team on 2 projects I have been put in the newly formed platform team in June 2017 and decided not to renew the contract with Sainsbury?s in October 2017. I have worked on the following projects:

Implemented CI/CD pipeline for a Microservices based C# Application using the following technologies and vendors: AWS, Terraform, Chef, Appveyor

• Refactoring of terraform Infrastructure Code for Microservices based ASP.NET Web Application to mitigate risks to the business discovered by penetration tests. To achieve this, several layers of separation and segregation were implemented as well as fine tuning and hardening of the existing setup.
• Working on the several tasks related to involvement in the Platform Team

I helped Wonga to migrate from on-premises VMware estate to AWS cloud using the following technologies:

• Octopus Deploy in combination with PowerShell scripting
• Hashicorp Packer and Hashicorp Terraform
  • ?Also? helped establish an ?Automation first? mindset.

• Founding member of the DevOps Automation team. 
• Successfully launched DevOps as a service for customers mainly focusing on Windows estate. 
• This offering was built mainly on PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), augmented with Chef recipes where necessary.
