This is all my professional information. I'm a DevOps Engineer with a background in computational astrophysics.Updated: August 2024
Objective
I'm an experienced DevOps Engineer with a knack for orchestrating Kubernetes clusters and optimizing development workflows with Git. I excel in implementing monitoring solutions using Grafana and Prometheus, and automating CI pipelines with Azure DevOps Pipelines and Ansible. Leveraging containerization tech like Docker, along with CD tools such as ArgoCD, I ensure smooth application deployment and scalable infrastructure with Helm. I'm seeking a challenging role where I can leverage my expertise to drive innovation and efficiency in a dynamic environment.
My background in computational analysis, backed by a PhD, equips me with strong problem-solving skills for tackling complex technical challenges. Plus, my leadership experience in scientific projects highlights my ability to drive success through collaboration and strategic planning.

Work Experience
| DevOps Engineer, Bordatech, Freelance | March 2023 - Present |
|---|---|
| In my role, I oversee and upkeep over 10 Kubernetes clusters including air-gapped and more than 500 pods. I've enhanced our code deployment efficiency by automating processes using CI/CD pipelines using Azure Devops Pipelines and Argocd. I've also built a multi-tenant observability architecture and designed dashboards for monitoring and alerting purposes. Additionally, I develop and manage custom Helm charts and automate manual tasks using scripting languages like Python and shell, which has significantly boosted our team's productivity. | |
| Research Assistant, Mimar Sinan FA University, Full-time | May 2017 - Present |
|---|---|
| In my teaching role, I instruct Computational Physics using Python, utilizing packages like numpy, scipy, and pandas. I simplify complex concepts into clear summaries for students to grasp easily. My academic research is delving into the study of Neutrino Electromagnetic interactions and their phase effects in the Supernova environment, while also analyzing detectability. | |
| Visiting Researcher, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, Full-time | October 2018 - March 2019 |
|---|---|
| Utilizing the high-performance computing resources allocated to me, with a dedicated setup of 50+ CPUs and over 500 GB RAM, I conducted research at the intersection of physics and computational science. Employing Fortran and Python, I developed models to simulate neutrino nucleosynthesis network calculations on the HPC infrastructure. This allowed me to generate extensive data on nuclei production, which I then meticulously analyzed, comparing it with the abundance observed in the Solar System. Results are promising to explain what human beings are made of. Additionally, I frequently presented my findings to the Theory group and collaborated across diverse disciplines. | |
