Designing and scaling mission-critical engineering platforms in a tightly regulated bank, blending legacy stability with AI-augmented SDLC workflows.

• AI in SDLC: Driving AI rollout across build/test to speed analysis and shorten feedback loops.
• Modernization in Regulation: Vetting and onboarding new tech safely within strict compliance boundaries.
• Platform Reliability: Governing global CI/CD and artifact platforms with 99.9% availability for thousands of engineers.
• DevEx with Guardrails: Building self-service paths that stay fast while meeting audit and security requirements.

Operated and evolved core engineering platforms in a regulated bank, scaling automation and availability for large developer teams.

• Enterprise CI/CD: Ran TeamCity/Bitbucket/Artifactory/SonarQube with distributed agents for 2500+ developers.
• Artifact Management: Maintained HA binary repos with secure storage and cross-region distribution.
• SCM Administration: Tuned Git performance and access models for large codebases.
• Monitoring & Dashboards: Delivered platform telemetry and tailored dashboards.
• Compliance & Recovery: Applied retention, audit, and DR controls required by banking regulations.

• Infrastructure Automation: Automated provisioning and configuration of Lisk validator and service nodes with Infrastructure as Code (Ansible + shell tooling) to eliminate manual drift and streamline deploys.
• Distributed Fleet Operations: Operated and monitored 150+ Linux servers and blockchain services, synchronizing patching, hardening, and capacity planning across multiple data centers.
• Observability Stack: Built a purpose-built monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) that captures blockchain-specific metrics and escalates alerts automatically.
• Secure Connectivity: Maintained the Berlin office LAN and bespoke VPN tunnels to offer secure remote access to engineering teams.
• Incident Leadership: Led production incident response for decentralized nodes, driving root-cause analysis and service restoration within tight SLAs.

• CI/CD Pipeline Development: Created Bitbucket + Jenkins pipelines with parallel execution and gated promotions to improve release predictability for a high-traffic comparison platform.
• AWS Delivery Stack: Provisioned and tuned Route 53, S3, CloudFront, and EC2 infrastructure to balance scalability with cost-efficient content delivery.
• Environment Parity & Release Governance: Maintained DEV and PREPROD landscapes, coordinated deployments, and enforced promotion guardrails to ensure predictable go-lives.
• Operational Reliability: Led monitoring, mail server migrations, and scripting automation to keep customer-facing systems stable under load.

• CI/CD & Automation: Built Gerrit + Jenkins pipelines automating build/test/deploy cycles for GIS applications and services.
• Oracle & High Availability: Administered Oracle databases, backup/recovery processes, and HA policies to meet SLAs for utility-sector clients.
• Containerization Strategy: Containerized legacy GIS deployments and introduced Docker-based workflows with configuration management.
• Production Operations: Handled Linux system administration, automation scripting, and monitoring dashboards for field operations.

• CRM Platform Development: Delivered CRM capabilities with PHP, Oracle, Apache2, and Ext.JS/Sencha to automate internal business processes.
• 3rd Line Support & Troubleshooting: Handled escalated production incidents and collaborated with stakeholders to diagnose root causes.
• Automation & Tooling: Crafted automation scripts and an in-house PHP framework to standardize development practices and cut repetitive work.
• Server Administration: Tuned and maintained Apache2/PHP production servers for security and performance.
