Work Background
DevOps Engineer
Demand.ioDevOps Engineer
Oct. 2024Los Angeles, Califórnia, Estados UnidosAs a DevOps Engineer, I led the migration of TypeScript, Python, and PHP microservices to a GitOps-driven continuous deployment model using ArgoCD on GKE, enabling streamlined deployments, seamless rollbacks, and ephemeral environments for dynamic development workflows. I launched end-to-end Playwright test suites covering both web and API layers, integrating test execution into GitHub Actions pipelines and publishing results as artifacts to enhance CI visibility. I architected the MCP setup, developing custom install scripts and implementing least-privilege BigQuery and Claude desktop integrations to ensure secure data access practices. To handle sensitive workloads, I designed secure GitHub Actions pipelines and deployed self-hosted runners within VPCs, achieving isolation and compliance with internal security standards. I extended and standardized Helm charts across multiple projects—including CronJobs, Ingress, ConfigMaps, and ExternalSecrets—to ensure consistent, reproducible deployments. Legacy infrastructure was transformed into Pulumi TypeScript stacks, wired into CI pipelines via GitHub Actions for validated provisioning of GKE clusters, IAM roles, and service accounts. I developed change data capture (CDC) data pipelines using Cloud Dataflow, synchronizing data from CloudSQL (MySQL and PostgreSQL) into BigQuery, enabling near real-time analytics. For observability, I instrumented applications with OpenTelemetry and GCP Tracers, added synthetic monitoring checks, and configured GCP-based alerting, improving incident response times. I also created reusable GitHub Actions workflows for secret management, IaC validation/apply, gated PR check-ins, and automated tests, ensuring secure and scalable automation. Finally, I initiated the migration of frontend applications from GKE to Cloudflare Pages, where I implemented custom CDN caching rules, KV-backed dynamic caching, and Zero Trust policies using Cloudflare Access for enhanced performance and security

Jan. 2024 - Sep. 2024Mountain View, Califórnia, Estados UnidosAs an Automation Engineer, I focused on enhancing observability, reliability, and deployment workflows across cloud-native environments. I enhanced application monitoring using Grafana, Faro, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, and the APM stack, combined with K6 performance testing, to identify memory leaks and misbehaving applications—significantly improving the on-call process. I implemented synthetics monitoring for microservices, setting alerts for browser interaction failures, response delays, and third-party integration outages. I also developed end-to-end (E2E) coverage using Playwright, creating workflows to run nightly test suites, ensuring stability in our continuous deployment pipelines. These efforts were supported by a monitoring dashboard deployed on EKS using Helm charts to track incidents and test versions. My work extended to improving integration tests with Playwright for various services, while maintaining unit test coverage with Jest and Nock. I managed on-call and release processes, ensuring safe production deployments using Git Flow, and deployed applications and FRP proxies for test environments and internal tools. This included developing custom Helm charts and using Terraform with GitHub Actions for infrastructure provisioning and fine-tuning. Additionally, I created and maintained bash scripts for deployments via GitHub Actions and local development setups, including Cloudflare Tunnels and AWS configurations. I built reusable pipelines for managing Node.js applications, including NPM setup, caching, and registry handling on GitHub. To streamline dynamic application deployment, I also created distributed Helm charts with a multi-source strategy integrated with ArgoCD, enabling scalable and flexible delivery workflows.

This includes leveraging synthetics, APM, and RUM to ensure peak performance and reliability across our applications. My role in managing Cloud Functions, CloudRun, and AppEngine applications has been instrumental in maintaining seamless operational continuity. Further, I have demonstrated expertise in network infrastructure by handling VPC Connector creations and configuring static IPs, thereby fortifying our network rules and security measures. Acknowledging the importance of knowledge sharing, I have taken the initiative to create detailed documentation and processes for every new automation, thereby empowering my team to maintain high standards in DevOps practices. I have also played a pivotal role in deploying and managing a resilient GKE cluster with Autopilot, ensuring that our containerized applications perform optimally with minimal manual oversight. My contribution extends to managing Cloudflare Workers and ensuring robust WAF protection, which is critical to safeguarding our applications against emerging security threats.
