Hi, I'm

Codin.

SRE, Infra Architect & Tech Team Builder

I bring the hard-to-find mix of technical pragmatism, automation, and leadership in everything from greenfield startups to global scale-ups and enterprise mountains. My interests in communication and social sciences allow me to iron out issues between any parties on a project to push forward healthily.

About Me

I’m a Site Reliability Engineer and Infra Pragmatist. I’ve done cloud operations, DevOps engineering, and team building. I’m currently the IT DevOps Manager at DP World Constanța, leading infrastructure modernization, automation, and team development across a mission-critical logistics ecosystem.

Previously, I worked fully remotely for Platform.sh and Checkly HQ, where I delivered projects that reduced operational burden, improved monitoring and observability, and ensured resilient services at scale.

I thrive where complex systems meet human factors, and I believe in strong documentation, thoughtful leadership, and measurable uptime.

What I love to work with:
  • Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, VictoriaMetrics
  • All flavours of Linux and some BSD!
  • Ceph, GlusterFS, HA storage
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, Galera
  • Containers: Docker/Podman, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes
  • Git, CI/CD pipelines
  • Observability, Alerting & Incident Response
  • Python, Groovy, Bash, and anything else that gets the job done.
  • Humans
