SEEKING WORK - London, UK - Remote preferred DevOps / Python guy with over a decade's experience building, hosting and tuning applications. I work with engineering teams to make their products as scalable and robust as possible. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. Recent projects include: + AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerised hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances & continuous integration. + Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring. + Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still working. + Chef-managed deployment of a large microservice stack across cloud and physical servers with varied configurations. + Support, enhancements and development for a number of Django projects. hn-2018-01@mbird.biz / https://uk.linkedin.com/pub/alex-hewson/b6/50a/8b4 https://uk.linkedin.com/pub/alex-hewson/b6/50a/8b4
