Work

Places I have worked, and what I did there.

Apr 2026 – Present

Helmcode

SRE / AI Platform Engineer
Current

Since April 2026 I combine SRE with building the company’s own AI platform: an LLM inference API served from our own GPU fleet.

  • Run the LLM inference platform in production on Kubernetes (vLLM, LiteLLM): model sizing by VRAM and KV-cache, tuning with real metrics and evaluation of new models.
  • Build the platform in Go and SvelteKit/Astro: RAG chat, Stripe billing, a referral system, feature flags and a TUI.
  • Design the platform’s observability and alerting with VictoriaMetrics, Grafana and VictoriaLogs.
  • Own the reliability of production PostgreSQL databases: backups, recovery and performance.
  • In parallel, cloud infrastructure for clients on GCP and AWS.
Oct 2025 – Apr 2026

Helmcode

Site Reliability Engineer
  • Manage Kubernetes clusters across AWS, Azure and DigitalOcean for client and internal environments, ensuring high availability and operational reliability.
  • Deploy Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines from scratch for clients, with Terraform and Scalr as the main IaC tooling.
  • Migrate production workloads from EC2 instances to Kubernetes, designing custom Helm charts tailored to each project.
  • Standardize CI/CD pipelines on GitLab CI, GitHub Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines.
  • Implement secret management with HashiCorp Vault integrated with Kubernetes through the Vault Secrets Operator.
  • Deploy and maintain applications with Helm and ArgoCD following GitOps principles.
Feb 2023 – Oct 2025

Optare Solutions

Site Reliability Engineer
  • Managed 30+ Kubernetes clusters across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on- premise (k3s/kubeadm), ensuring high availability and disaster recovery for client environments.
  • Operational Architecture: Collaborated with cross-functional teams to design scalable, secure architectures aligned with business requirements.
  • Tooling & Automation: Focused on adoption of OpenTelemetry, FluentBit, Loki, and Tempo to centralize logging/tracing, reducing incident resolution time.
  • CI/CD: Standardized secure pipeline designs using Gitlab, ArgoCD, Jenkins and Github Actions enforcing best practices (Trivy for vulnerability scanning, SonarQube for code quality).
  • Observability: Built and maintained monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Thanos, Grafana, ELK).
  • Configured and implemented Kong for API gateway functionality and load balancing, and Keycloak for robust identity management,
  • Mentorship: Provided technical guidance to junior engineers on Kubernetes, Helm, and GitOps workflows.
