04 / DevOps & platform engineering

Reliable deployments for your team.

I support your team with deployment pipelines, Kubernetes and platform operations. Together, we improve the pipelines, sort out access permissions and make troubleshooting easier. I work alongside your team to implement the changes.

Starting point

Sound familiar?

Releases need too many manual steps or depend on one person’s knowledge.
Differences between development, staging and production keep causing problems.
Your team needs a shared approach to credentials, permissions or troubleshooting.

Working together

What I can take on.

01Review how a change gets from commit to production and agree which problems to tackle first.
02Build CI/CD and GitOps workflows and improve Kubernetes environments with clearly defined access permissions.
03Manage secrets centrally and add security checks to the deployment pipelines.
04Make metrics, logs and traces useful for troubleshooting, and document how to run the platform with your team.

Kubernetes platforms for SaaS applications

At BradBit, I built and ran Kubernetes platforms for our own applications and those we managed for clients. I looked after infrastructure, automated deployments and day-to-day operations.

Focus

Cloud and on-premises platforms with automated deployments, monitoring and shared application services.

Centralised secrets management

For a financial services client, I set up a central system for managing sensitive credentials. I integrated it with the deployment pipelines and the client’s Kubernetes and OpenShift environments.

Outcome

Secrets are managed centrally, supplied to applications and rotated as part of the automated deployment setup.
