DESCRIPTION

From a first Terraform module to a production Kubernetes platform, I cover the path from commit to running service.

cloud-infrastructure

Design, build and migrate infrastructure on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, plus Cloudflare at the edge and Hetzner for cost-efficient compute.

infrastructure-as-code

Terraform/OpenTofu and Terragrunt, or CloudFormation, CDK and Bicep. Ansible for configuration, Packer for images. Drift-free changes reviewed like code.

ci-cd-pipelines

Fast, reliable pipelines with Jenkins, Azure DevOps and GitHub/GitLab CI: automated tests, artifacts and safe deployments.

kubernetes

Containerise with Docker and run on Kubernetes: cluster setup, Helm, autoscaling and a microservices-friendly platform.

observability

Metrics, logs, dashboards and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki, or Datadog and New Relic.

automation

Python and Go tooling to remove toil, plus Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian) and Windows administration. RHCSA certified.

security

Least-privilege IAM, secrets management, network and edge protection, vulnerability scanning in CI and security reviews.

android-automotive

CI and release orchestration for in-vehicle infotainment (HMI) apps on Android Automotive OS: build and manifest verification, release candidates.

internal-tools

Custom internal tools built fast with AI-assisted development: dashboards, admin panels, CLIs and ops tooling.

vlad@baesu:~$ cat ~/ai/README

AI is part of how I work and part of what I build. # real infrastructure, not just demos

AI-assisted engineering

Claude Code with spec-driven development: agree on a written spec and plan first, then let the agent implement, with every change reviewed and tested by a human.

Running AI workloads

Containerised inference, GPU and Apple Silicon acceleration, multi-GB model weights, streaming responses and cost control.

Automation with LLMs

Runbooks, triage, reports and glue scripts turned into AI-assisted tools that save hours every week.
