► Built and scaled infrastructure from 0 → 1, establishing the foundation for all platform and DevOps practices across the organization. ► Expanded infrastructure from 2 bare-metal nodes on Hetzner to a multi-cloud setup spanning AWS, GCP, and Hetzner. ► Led the evolution of deployments from PM2 → Docker Swarm → Kubernetes, optimizing resource utilization and reducing infrastructure costs by ~250%. ► Standardized engineering workflows by implementing industry-grade CI/CD pipelines Actions for CI and ArgoCD for GitOps-based CD. ► Transformed observability from basic monitoring (htop) to a fully self-hosted stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, GoAlert), improving system visibility while reducing observability costs by ~500%. Key Product Contributions: ► Zapmail: Scaled infrastructure from initial launch to 20K+ users, managing backend scaling, database performance, and infrastructure provisioning. ► Reachinbox: Designed and operated large-scale email infrastructure capable of sending 6M+ emails per day reliably.
