// Kubernetes & Terraform

Kubernetes and Terraform for teams on AWS and GCP.

I design, build and fix EKS and GKE platforms with Terraform: clusters your team can operate, infrastructure changes that go through CI, and monitoring that pages only for real problems. Senior DevOps engineer, 14+ years in DevOps, HashiCorp Terraform certified.

What I take on

A new EKS or GKE cluster

Designed and built with Terraform, across availability zones, with autoscaling, identity-based access and Helm-based delivery.

Applications onto Kubernetes

Containerising services, Helm charts and a delivery pipeline, moved in stages instead of one risky cut-over.

Cluster review

An existing cluster checked for security, reliability and cost, and fixed where it falls short.

Terraform that stays maintainable

Reusable modules, a clean multi-environment layout, manually created resources imported into code.

CI/CD for infrastructure

Infrastructure changes reviewed and planned in the pipeline, like application code: no manual drift.

Monitoring and alerting

Prometheus and Grafana with meaningful alerts, dashboards and SLOs: fewer false pages, faster incident response.

Where I have done it

Upwork clients2024 – 2025

Created and managed Kubernetes clusters on EKS and GKE; Terraform for AWS and GCP; full Prometheus/Grafana stack; GitLab CI and Helm.

Allianz Technology2023 – 2024

Releases to Kubernetes with Helm; Terraform and AWS Lambda; GitLab CI/CD; Prometheus and Grafana monitoring.

Yields.io2022

Reusable Terraform modules across AWS and GCP; Kubernetes deployments with Helm; Concourse pipelines.

Molex2020 – 2022

Built a Kubernetes cluster on AWS and the AWS infrastructure around it with Terraform.

Aer Lingus2019 – 2020

Refactored Terraform and Ansible; designed new AWS infrastructure; migrated on-premises components to AWS.

Qualitance2016 – 2017

Took a microservices platform to production on Kubernetes on AWS.

The usual result: infrastructure defined in code, a working delivery pipeline, and documentation your team can maintain.
