Kubernetes, CI/CD and diagnostics

What I am trusted with

Systems that need predictable behavior under operational pressure.

The common thread is not a single framework. It is reliable processing, traceable state, useful diagnostics and delivery paths that teams can maintain after launch.

01

Document-processing platforms

Presentation import, OOXML/PPTX processing, headless browser runtimes and back-end service coordination for large-scale web workflows.

02

Distributed ingestion and messaging

Microservices, asynchronous workflows, explicit state transitions, retries, duplicate detection, idempotency and downstream integration.

03

Diagnostics and delivery

Operational visibility, Playwright/CDP tooling, build pipelines, Kubernetes configuration, static analysis and release workflows.

Selected work

Short case notes with the confidential details removed.

These examples show the type of systems I tend to work on: document conversion, browser-backed runtimes, messaging, deployment workflows and diagnostics.

01

Product engineering

Presentation-import workflows

Back-end and platform engineering for presentation-import and document-processing workflows in a high-traffic customer-facing web platform.

  • TypeScript, Node.js and Bazel-based monorepo
  • Microsoft PowerPoint / PPTX import and OOXML processing
  • Service coordination, headless Chrome and Puppeteer
  • Kubernetes-based platform work and CI/CD workflows
02

Enterprise systems

Confidential distributed ingestion platform

Distributed .NET microservices for asynchronous file and report ingestion in a restricted enterprise environment with message broker coordination and SQL Server persistence.

  • .NET, C#, SQL Server and background worker services
  • Artemis / AMQP messaging and downstream integrations
  • Idempotency, retries, duplicate detection and state transitions
  • Kubernetes, Helm, Azure DevOps and operational diagnostics
03

Engineering tooling

Memory-leak investigation tooling

Developer-facing tooling around Playwright, Chrome DevTools Protocol and Memlab to make browser memory-leak investigation repeatable and inspectable.

  • Automated heap snapshot collection through Playwright and CDP
  • PostgreSQL persistence for memory-analysis results
  • Vue dashboards for leaks and retainer chains
04

Application delivery

Web platforms and document management

ASP.NET Core and Vue applications, SPA migrations, document-management systems and reusable API support for filtering, sorting and pagination.

  • Vue 2/Webpack to Vue 3, TypeScript and Vite migrations
  • Azure Blob Storage, PostgreSQL and Entity Framework Core
  • Dynamic LINQ, Playwright E2E tests and maintainable app structure
