Platform Engineer II @ Slice | Turning Complex Infrastructure Invisible | Kubernetes · CI/CD · Observability | CKA

About

I am a Platform Engineer driven by a single goal: making complex infrastructure invisible so developers can ship faster and safer. Currently, I focus on architecting cloud-native platforms, scaling infrastructure, and standardizing observability across multi-service environments. My engineering journey started in the backend(Golang), building and scaling fault-tolerant microservices for high-volume onboarding systems. This product-engineering background gave me deep empathy for the developer experience (DevEx). Today, I leverage that perspective to design centralized developer hubs, optimize GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, and implement robust secrets management. Core Competencies: ⚙️ Infrastructure & Cloud: Kubernetes (EKS), AWS, Terraform, Docker 🚀 CI/CD & DevEx: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, ECR 📊 Observability & SRE: OpenTelemetry, Distributed Tracing, High Availability / DR Planning 💻 Backend Systems: Node.js, MongoDB, Microservices Architecture
