Devops Engineer

I contributed to a platform team overseeing the Cloud Infrastructure for an innovative Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) IoT solution. This involved enabling smart client devices to seamlessly interact with Cloud services for operational tasks, management, and comprehensive reporting.

Our approach centered on leveraging Azure Cloud infrastructure, managed efficiently through Terraform and Terragrunt. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices, adhering to GitOps principles, were executed through Github Workflows and FluxCD. Additionally, we established a robust workflow for load testing, integrating K6 and GitHub Actions and Workflows, thereby simplifying load testing procedures for microservices developed by various product teams. The implementation of advanced monitoring solutions, employing tools such as Prometheus exporters, Grafana, and Instana, ensured comprehensive observability across the system architecture.
