Portfolio

Senior Azure DevOps Engineer · Sofia, Bulgaria

I build and automate cloud-native delivery: Azure Kubernetes Service, container registries, GitOps-style deployments, and the surrounding data and observability pieces. Recent focus includes platform work for smart-home and AI-enabled workloads, benchmark automation for inference stacks, and keeping large Helm-based estates consistent across environments.

Selected work

Living Homes · 2025–present

Genesis platform on AKS

Azure-based infrastructure for a smart-home and health-oriented product stack: AKS, ACR, PostgreSQL and MongoDB services, and GitOps-driven application rollout with Helm and Argo CD across dev, test, and prod.

  • ApplicationSets and environment-specific values for many microservices and system components
  • Observability integration (Application Insights, logging stacks, OpenTelemetry paths)
  • Operational patterns for promoting changes without losing traceability to git

Platform engineering

Cognitive & rule-engine services

Delivery and operations context for a Python-heavy cognitive layer: FastAPI services, Kafka, Celery workers, rule engines, health pipelines, and ML-adjacent components (e.g. Spink-style analytics paths).

  • Understanding service boundaries to size Kubernetes resources and tune rollouts
  • Aligning deployment metadata with how teams debug cross-service flows

Graph & core services

Homes floor plan & federation

End-to-end delivery patterns for a homes floor-plan service: container build and promotion pipelines, Helm charts per environment, and Apollo Router / GraphQL federation so the subgraph fits the wider API graph.

IoT & Kubernetes

ThingsBoard & multi-cloud Helm

Experience with ThingsBoard-style deployments on Kubernetes across cloud targets — Helm charts, environment overlays, and the operational glue (logging, ingress, persistence) those stacks need.

SUSE · Edge

Rancher ecosystem & edge validation

Partner integrations and validation for edge stacks: Rancher, RKE2, K3s, SL Micro, GitLab CI/CD for Edge Image Builder, and automated tests (BATS, Detik-style checks) on VM and bare metal.

Personal · ongoing

Tikvite Portal

Privacy-oriented communication stack on Kubernetes (ARM / Raspberry Pi 4), combining Rocket.Chat, Node, MongoDB, Nextcloud, and Collabora.
