  • Being a so-called OASIS Platform Engineer my team and I were responsible for about 26 DevOps teams totalling about 700 developers their platforms. We've maintained and managed basically everything for them so they had what they needed from hardening servers, providing a complete development platform and also the most advanced CI/CD pipelines. I've also worked on fixing scaling issues we had with our repository that happened to be the biggest repository of the world. (80GB of code!)

  • I was being hired via Working Spirit to plan and do a migration of ~25 CentOS hosts to Docker containers spread over multiple docker hosts.
  • Next to this I've built CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment and releasing using Terraform, Ansible, Bitbucket, Git, Jenkins and Octopus Deploy.
  • I wrote Ansible Roles for implementation in the pipelines to apply configurations, volume management, policies, network interfaces, selinux and routing to the hosts and deploy the docker containers.
  • I've also segmented the network into isolated VLAN's, managed (fortigate, firewalld, iptables and nftables) firewall policies, hardening and configured Datadog for monitoring purposes.
  • Next to that I've also worked a bit with Puppet, Nexus, Quay, docker-compose and Uyuni.
