What I do for your team

From the first commit to the production dashboard — infrastructure that runs itself.

CI/CD design & rollout

From push to production with zero manual steps: build, test, security scan, release and automated deploy to Develop, Staging and Production.

  • GitLab
  • Jenkins
  • SonarQube
  • Harbor

Kubernetes platform

Production clusters on-premise or in the cloud, standard Helm charts, GitOps with ArgoCD and autoscaling.

  • Kubernetes
  • Helm
  • ArgoCD
  • Docker

Monitoring & observability

Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics, centralized logging with ELK and alerts that reach you before your customers do.

  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
  • ELK Stack
  • Alertmanager

DevSecOps

Automated code, dependency and image scanning inside the pipeline — security without slowing developers down.

  • Trivy
  • Gitleaks
  • OWASP ZAP
  • SonarQube

Infrastructure as Code

Servers, networks and services as code — reproducible, reviewable and free of "works on my server".

  • Terraform
  • Ansible
  • Bash
  • Python

Self-hosted team tooling

In-house GitLab, Harbor, Nexus, Mattermost and Jira — independent of sanctions and internet restrictions.

  • MinIO
