Experience

Cloud Engineer

GreenPlus

Worked across the design, operation, and modernization of highly available OpenStack infrastructure spanning more than 100 compute nodes and multiple datacenter locations.

  • Designed, operated, and modernized OpenStack infrastructure across Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Octavia, and OVN networking.
  • Worked with OpenStack-Ansible and Kolla-Ansible, including migration and modernization of legacy cloud environments.
  • Designed and operated Ceph and RBD storage with three-node, five-node, and six-node architectures, SSD and NVMe pools, Cinder volume types, and storage QoS.
  • Worked on Kubernetes-as-a-Service architecture using Kubernetes, Cluster API, CAPO, Kamaji, FastAPI orchestration, OpenStack project isolation, Octavia, and cluster lifecycle workflows.
  • Built infrastructure automation and delivery workflows with Terraform, Ansible, AWX, self-hosted GitLab, GitLab CI, and GitOps practices.
  • Worked across Ironic, MAAS, Proxmox, GPU passthrough, image building, L2/L3 networking, VLANs, DHCP relay, and DMZ/private network architecture.
  • Supported infrastructure observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/EFK, alongside service ownership, runbooks, technical documentation, mentoring, and knowledge transfer.
Selected results
  • Contributed to OpenStack upgrades across three datacenters and more than three major versions without product downtime.
  • GitOps and CI/CD improvements reduced deployment turnaround by more than 60%.
  • Participated in launching a new Tebyan cloud environment.
