GitOps • OpenShift • Kubernetes Automation at Scale

I help enterprise teams build scalable, automated platform solutions

I design and deliver GitOps‑driven platform architectures across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments. I’ve led OpenShift and Kubernetes initiatives spanning 30+ clusters, standardized lifecycle automation with Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize, and enabled secure, compliant operations for fintech and enterprise teams.

Services

Fixed‑Scope • 3–6 weeks

GitOps Platform Jumpstart

Assessment, architecture, and implementation of a production‑ready GitOps foundation using Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize. Includes secrets integration (ESO/Vault/SOPS) and documentation for ops handoff.

  • Declarative cluster & platform config
  • Argo CD app‑of‑apps pattern
  • Security & policy baselines
Blueprint • 6–10 weeks

Multi‑Cluster Platform Blueprint

Reference architecture and automation patterns for OpenShift or upstream Kubernetes across regions/tenants, with governance, observability, and day‑2 operations baked in.

  • Repeatable cluster rollout patterns
  • Policy‑as‑code & drift control
  • Operational readiness playbooks
Retainer • 10–30 hrs/mo

Fractional Platform Architect

Ongoing platform leadership — standards, reviews, roadmaps, and mentoring. Raise platform maturity without a full‑time executive hire.

  • Architecture guardrails & PR reviews
  • Team mentoring & enablement
  • Executive updates & roadmap
