Firewires OneIoT

Sep 2025 – Present

Kubernetes ArgoCD GitLab CI/CD Vault Traefik AWS → Azure

Proposed and assisted in migration of Kubernetes workloads from x86 to AWS ARM instances (m7g), achieving 50%+ better performance and 15–18% cost reduction across alpha, beta, and production clusters.
Architected and deployed SigNoz as a centralized observability platform on AKS, unifying logs, metrics, and distributed traces from 5 multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters via OpenTelemetry collectors; configured namespace-level log filtering, Kafka JMX metrics scraping, and ClickHouse TTL policies to optimize storage and reduce ingestion noise.
Migrated and upgraded PostgreSQL databases from AWS to Azure and from PG-16 to PG-18 with zero data loss and minimal downtime; configured automated backups using pgBackRest and deployed databasus to provide a centralized dashboard for backup status and observability across environments.
Enhanced Kubernetes platform stability through component upgrades, performing cluster maintenance, fixing out-of-sync ArgoCD apps, and occasional CI/CD pipeline fixes.
Implemented Uptime Kuma, reducing alerting noise and improving observability by fine-tuning alert rules and monitors.
