SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.
I'm a seasoned DevOps with 15 years experience hosting, tuning & occasionally building applications.
I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.
Recent work includes:
+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.
+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.
+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers
+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.
+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects
