Project Management Leadership

As the IT Project Manager & Infrastructure Engineer, I spearheaded a hybrid modernization initiative for the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

  • Lifecycle Spearheading: Managed the entire project lifecycle, from strategic planning and budgeting to technical execution and final delivery.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Led infrastructure, DevOps, and security teams across a hybrid onsite/remote environment.
  • Strategic Communication: Delivered technical-to-nontechnical translations for stakeholders, ensuring alignment on digital transformation goals.

Infrastructure Modernization

Implemented a robust hybrid environment to support state-level public services with high reliability:

  • Nutanix Virtualization: Provisioned robust dev/prod environments on Nutanix AHV virtual infrastructure.
  • Kubernetes Orchestration: Deployed containerized services with Kubernetes, ensuring isolated and scalable application environments.
  • Secure Load Handling: Leveraged Nginx for high-performance reverse proxying, load balancing, and SSL termination.
  • High-Availability Storage: Integrated MinIO as an S3-compatible object storage layer with strict backup policies.

DevOps Engineering & Observability

Enforced institutional-grade automation and visibility across the entire hybrid stack:

  • CI/CD Automation: Engineered GitLab CI pipelines for standardized code deployment, multi-environment testing, and rapid rollbacks.
  • Observability Stack: Deployed Prometheus and Grafana for real-time visibility, paired with Sentry for granular error tracking.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automated provisioning using declarative tools to eliminate manual errors and minimize recovery time.
  • Security Enforcement: Applied IAM principles, TLS encryption, and network segmentation to ensure rigorous compliance.
