At Clovr Labs, I design, automate, and secure the infrastructure behind crypto payment and cybersecurity solutions across Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems. My focus is on building scalable, high-availability systems and enforcing zero-trust principles for critical blockchain operations.

I develop and maintain Lightning Network payment processors and Ethereum transaction pipelines, ensuring resilience, observability, and security at scale. My daily toolkit includes Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, and ArgoCD, applying a GitOps approach to deliver fully automated and auditable deployments across AWS and other cloud providers.

Security is at the center of everything I build — from hardening cloud environments to embedding DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines. I work to ensure that every system, from infrastructure to application layer, is resilient by design. The goal is not just to keep up with blockchain innovation, but to make it reliable, secure, and repeatable.

Working to make tech work meaningful for companies.

In Polar Squad I got certified (CKA, CKAD, and AWS SAA). Besides I did cultural and technical interviews, I mentored 7 team mates, aligning and ensuring their growth within the company in a flat organization. I also assisted the sales team in technical client meetings to understand their needs and prepare effective and valuable proposals.

At a German Digital Language Learning Company (2023-2024), as the sole DevOps in the InfoSec team, I managed +19 AWS accounts using Terraform, integrating PagerDuty, GitHub, and Okta. I established a CI/CD protocol for IaC, migrated AWS security solutions to a dedicated security account, and managed IAM permissions with a least privilege approach. I optimized the AWS account structure, implemented WORM backups, and maintained a robust monitoring system.

At a Finnish Telecommunications Company (2024-2025), I supported over 7 teams as a main consultant in the DevOps team, using Kubernetes, Helm Charts, ArgoCD, ELK stack for both on-premise and AWS environments using AWS CDK applying GitOps. My day to day work comprended hands-on work, migrations, cloud architecting, trainings and workshops.

I worked within an agile methodology and collaborated with several developer teams. My work involved a wide range of tasks, including automation, infrastructure design and implementation and containerization.

I have expertise in a wide variety of services from AWS cloud provider, CI/CD automation tools and also knowledge of infrastructure as code tools like Terraform. My expertise in monolith migration to microservices, relational to non-relational databases migrations, and single-regional to multi-regional architecture migrations allowed me to successfully take on key infrastructure changes to help the company lead in the sector.

In addition to my technical responsibilities, I also defined several wide-company security protocols. These protocols included periodical pentest audits, vulnerabilities handling, awareness sessions and security advices for technical and non-technical teams across the whole company. Security was taken very seriously, were a large number of security ISO standards and certifications were accomplished to protect the company against vulnerabilities, intrusions and security incidents.

Inbenta in numbers:

- 12+ AWS accounts within 7 regions

- 200+ customers

- 5-10 Billion user questions per day

- 150+ Gitlab repositories (self-hosted) with 80+ CI/CD pipelines (both for code and IaaC)
