Technical Experience #
These days my work is mainly focused around helping other people improve their journey with:
- automation of software delivery (CI and CD processes)
- microservices, containers and Kubernetes
- infrastructure-as-a-code
- cloud and container security
Occasionally I’m also coding in Go - helpers/wrappers, Kubernetes controllers and so on.
Few Open Source contributions I did includes:
Experience #
March 2021 - Self Employeed #
Dec 2017 - Feb 2021 - Lead WebOps Engineer, Kainos #
As a Lead WebOps Engineer as was responsible for delivering Kubernetes-on-AWS platform for big project for one of our customers (Department for London, UK GOV department).
I was involved in designing and deploying infrastructure, IaaC pipelines and security boundaries around AWS and Kubernetes areas. I was leading team of few WebOps Engineers, for which I have planned work. As a team we were also supporting two developer teams within their daily work - this included container deployments, pipelines, solving problems with application. Project went live after 3 years of development.
Later on I have joined another project (HM Revenue & Customs, UK GOV department), where I was involved into building kubernetes platform on AWS MVP for application to handle new tax system which went live after Brexit has happened. I was responsible for supervising kubernetes layer and planned further work to improve platform security.

Started on junior position and later on moved to delivery.
