Career history

DevOps Engineer Aramisauto

I led the migration of the platform from GCP to AWS with zero downtime. I moved workloads from Docker Compose to Kubernetes on Amazon EKS, improving scalability, fault tolerance, and deployment reliability.

I codified AWS infrastructure, including EKS, load balancers, and networking, using Terraform to create reproducible environments. I built GitLab CI/CD pipelines, implemented GitOps deployments with ArgoCD, and managed DNS and network security across production environments using Cloudflare, Route 53, firewalls, and security groups.

DevOps & Backend Engineer gains.trade

I designed and automated highly available, high-performance clusters for Polygon and Arbitrum stateful nodes on AWS. I used Auto Scaling groups, scheduled DLM backups, and Fast Snapshot Restore to reduce node startup time.

I architected a custom EC2 and EBS solution that separated storage from compute, reducing infrastructure costs while maintaining low latency. I also built GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, implemented DevSecOps controls with KMS and IAM, and developed a low-latency event-driven Go backend with a CLI for live control and visibility.

DevOps & Backend Engineer Cizoo

I led the migration from OVH to AWS and codified production, load-testing, and test infrastructure with Terraform. I built and operated Docker and Kubernetes clusters, automated configuration management with Ansible, and established Kafka event streaming for the reels feature.

I created GitLab CI/CD pipelines and a Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and alerting stack. I led load testing, resolved performance bottlenecks by optimizing algorithms and database access, contributed to architectural decisions, and handled mission-critical production incidents.

Data Science Intern Winespace

I designed a hierarchical CamemBERT-based recommendation model using PyTorch and Hugging Face to recommend wines for dishes. The model achieved 95% accuracy.

I integrated the machine learning model into the company's applications through an API. I also migrated application components to AWS Lambda.

Full-Stack Engineer Intern Deltablock

I built a financial data collection system in Java and Python to collect prices, orders, and order books. The system included data validation and quality-control mechanisms.

I also developed an agent-based testing framework for market-making strategies. I created a React and TradingView interface to visualize strategy-testing results.

Full-Stack Engineer Intern Transatel

I built a full-stack application that enabled businesses to create customized mobile offers through interactive forms. The application used React for the frontend and Node.js with Express for the backend.

I integrated MySQL for data persistence and contributed to the end-to-end delivery of the application, from user-facing forms through backend services and database functionality.
