About

Currently working with TradeRepublic as an SRE (in Data Platform division) to build next generation data-intensive systems, services. I enjoy working on distributed systems, designing massive scale architectures. I have first-hand experience and deep knowledge in Kubernetes, networking architecture(L4/L7), edge networking, service mesh, observability(I led a complete migration from DataDog to the LGTM stack). I also build internal tools that improve dev productivity. Always up for new challenges:)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Oct 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 8 mos · Berlin, Germany · Hybrid

Trade Republic is a Germany-based broker that allows users to invest in stocks, ETFs, bonds, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies through its app, including integrated banking services.
Some of the projects I’m most proud of (in no particular order):
Transitioned Observability Infrastructure from Datadog to the kube-prometheus LGTM
stack.(Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir).
Implemented ArgoCD from scratch, establishing a GitOps-driven CD pipeline and migrating Terraform
Helm resources for standardized Kubernetes deployments.
Built a Python-based custom adapter for pushing Kubernetes service custom metrics from
Prometheus to Metric Server real-time, enabling seamless Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) scaling based on custom-defined metrics which stood out as an in-house solution alternative to KEDA.
Created a Python-based lambda for pushing AWS DMS service metrics to Prometheus push gateway
which helped in monitoring of DMS jobs.
