    migrated 216 on non-production from legacy KOPS 1.18.20 to AWS EKS 1.33

  • Viafoura

    27

    applications

    migrated 27 applications on production from legacy KOPS 1.18.20 to AWS EKS 1.33 without customer impacts

  • Viafoura

    35%

    reduced EC2 spend on spot capacity alone — Karpenter consolidation, ARM64 Graviton node pools and automated spot-instance execution — with no Reserved Instances or Savings Plans purchased, so the saving carries no multi-year commitment and scales the platform horizontally without adding headcount

  • Stanza Systems

    25%

    reduced main-account EC2 operating costs using Karpenter-based autoscaling and cluster ingress optimization, to absorb variable demand without over-provisioning

  • Nutrien Agriculture Solutions

    75%

    shortened the production release interval from every two months to every two weeks, using GitHub Actions reusable workflows, custom TypeScript actions and platform self-service patterns, with ArgoCD and Argo Rollouts making off-cycle hotfixes routine

  • Nutrien Agriculture Solutions

    40%

    reduced LATAM cloud operating cost (approximately), using FinOps rightsizing, automated resource lifecycle management and decommissioning

  • RDI Software - Capgemini Americas Subsidiary

    8

    engineers

    led a distributed engineering group across the US, Hungary, India and Brazil, overseeing engineers and establishing delivery KPIs

  • WF - Brains For Your Business

    80%

    slashed production deployment failure rates by pioneering automated CI/CD pipelines from scratch using Jenkins and GitLab SCM for high-volume banking systems at a top-tier Brazilian bank

03History

Where the work happened

Retail banking, telecom, quick-service restaurant e-commerce, EdTech, agribusiness and B2B SaaS — the constant is production systems other people depend on.
