Fedir P.
Senior DevOps Engineer | AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, CI/CD
I build and run production AWS infrastructure that doesn't wake you up at 3 am — Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, zero-downtime deployments, and CI/CD pipelines. 20+ years in DevOps, including payment-systems infrastructure for a Fortune 100 bank. What I do: * Cloud architecture on AWS: EKS, ECS/Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache, Lambda, with separate dev/stage/prod environments, high availability, encryption and backups built in from day one * Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/Terragrunt modules your team can read, review and extend, with no click-ops and no snowflake environments * CI/CD and zero-downtime releases: GitLab CI pipelines, Argo Rollouts blue/green and canary deployments, Helm/Kustomize, and Karpenter autoscaling * Observability and reliability: Datadog monitoring and alerting, incident response, and security hardening (IAM/IRSA, KMS, Secrets Manager) for regulated and payment workloads Recent results: * Moved a production API to Argo Rollouts blue/green with a preview environment, so releases went from risky deploys to zero-downtime with instant rollback * Built a complete platforms on ECS Fargate with Terraform (VPC, RDS, Redis, S3, ALB, KMS), going from empty account to production in few days. * Cut AWS spend by 40% for a client through right-sizing, autoscaling and cleanup, with no loss of reliability I work best with teams that want things done properly: documented, reproducible and maintainable after I'm gone. I'm based in Tampa (US Eastern), and my overlap with US and European hours is easy. Message me with your stack and the problem you're trying to solve. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and how I'd approach it.
