I am a Lead DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with 12+ years of experience building and operating large-scale, highly available AWS platforms. I have led infrastructure efforts across multiple startups and companies, designing efficient CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, and Terraform-managed infrastructure.
I currently serve as Technical Lead for a Kubernetes platform, mentoring a team of 8 engineers while managing Amazon EKS production clusters running more than 10,000 pods across mission-critical workloads.
I specialize in AWS, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Helm, GitOps (FluxCD, Argo CD), GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and cloud-native platform engineering for highly available production environments.
My expertise includes:
• AWS architecture: EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, Aurora, S3, Route 53, ALB/NLB, KMS, and CloudWatch
• Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, autoscaling, networking, storage, security, and troubleshooting
• Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, and Infrastructure as Code
• GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD, and FluxCD
• Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Elasticsearch, and observability/monitoring
• SRE practices: on-call incident response, production monitoring, postmortems, and high-availability architecture
• Python for automation and tooling
• Multi-cloud experience across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform
I can help with AWS and Kubernetes architecture, EKS troubleshooting, Terraform automation, CI/CD and GitOps, cloud migrations, observability, cost optimization, and production incident response.
I have been an AWS Certified Solutions Architect since 2017 and hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Tirana. I focus on reliable, secure, maintainable solutions with clear communication and practical delivery.
