Platform automation
Design declarative infrastructure, GitOps workflows, and deployment pipelines that keep releases fast and reproducible.
Senior DevOps engineer
Automating resilient cloud platforms that let teams ship faster
I partner with product-driven companies to harden infrastructure, accelerate delivery pipelines, and keep systems observable around the clock.
"Daniel modernized our delivery platform and gave engineering their weekends back."
About
Operating platforms at scale
I build and evolve cloud platforms so engineering teams can focus on features instead of firefighting. My work spans container orchestration, infrastructure as code, observability, and security automation.
Whether untangling legacy deployments or scaling greenfield applications, I thrive on pairing pragmatic automation with strong operational practices.
- 10+ years running production workloads across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes
- Scaled CI/CD platforms supporting 200+ engineers
- Terraform, Helm, and Argo CD specialist
Capabilities
How I keep systems healthy
Reliability engineering
Establish SLOs, observability dashboards, and incident response playbooks that improve uptime and MTTR.
Cloud security
Embed security controls into infrastructure pipelines with policy as code, secrets management, and compliance automation.
