Senior Systems Administrator
I design and build resilient, scalable infrastructure from bare-metal Kubernetes to cloud architectures that grows with business needs.
I lead cross-functional teams and mentor engineers to deliver complex projects successfully.
I build tools and processes that eliminate manual work and accelerate development cycles.
I work alongside teams to identify critical blockers and orchestrate solutions that keep entire organizations moving forward.
Problem: Game studio needed highly available, secure infrastructure to host critical internal services (Horde CI/CD, build processes) and live service game while maintaining performance and staying within budget constraints.
Solution: Designed resilient hybrid Azure architecture with bare-metal Kubernetes clusters integrated via Azure Arc, featuring auto-scaling capabilities and centralized monitoring for optimal performance and cost control.
Implementation: Built bare-metal Kubernetes clusters on high-performance servers, integrated HashiCorp Vault for automated secret/certificate rotation, deployed Horde CI/CD and ArgoCD for streamlined development workflows, all managed through Azure Arc for unified governance.
Result: Achieved 99% uptime for critical build and development services while reducing build/cook times by 75%, enabling faster game development cycles and improved developer productivity.
