Marks P. - Fullstack Developer, GitLab, Git

At Softaims, I’ve found a workplace that thrives on collaboration and purposeful creation. The work we do here is about more than technology—it’s about transforming ideas into results that matter. Every project brings a mix of challenges and opportunities, and I approach them with a mindset of continuous learning and improvement. My philosophy centers around three principles: clarity, sustainability, and impact. Clarity means designing systems that are understandable, adaptable, and easy to maintain. Sustainability is about building with the future in mind, ensuring that the work we do today can evolve gracefully over time. And impact means creating something that genuinely improves how people work, connect, or experience the world. One of the most rewarding aspects of working at Softaims is the diversity of thought that every team member brings. We share insights, question assumptions, and push each other to think differently. It’s this culture of curiosity and openness that drives the quality of what we produce. Every solution we deliver is a reflection of that shared dedication. I’m proud to contribute to projects that not only meet client expectations but also exceed them through thoughtful execution and attention to detail. As I continue to grow in this journey, I remain focused on delivering meaningful outcomes that align technology with purpose.

Experience Highlights

Optimizing and Maintaining Multi-Environment Applications on EKS

The primary goal of the project was to enhance, secure, and optimize an existing multi-environment Dockerized application deployed on Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). The focus was on cost reduction, improving CI/CD pipelines, optimizing monitoring solutions, and ensuring robust security measures without affecting the application's performance or the developers' workflow.

Secure, Optimize and move to IaC Multi-Environment Infrastructure

The client’s initial infrastructure setup was confined to a single AWS account and a single GCP project, all operating within a single region and under one VPC. All three environments (development, staging, and production) were housed together. This setup was facilitated using Docker Compose on an EC2 instance. Security measures were minimal, with open network access and publicly available resources. Hardcoded credentials within the code further exacerbated security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the infrastructure was created manually, lacking automation and adherence to best practices.

Kubernetes-Based Multi-Tenant Platform on AWS EKS with ArgoCD

A scalable EKS-based Kubernetes platform on AWS was developed using Terraform for infrastructure and ArgoCD for application management. The setup includes Terraform stacks for various infrastructure components and ArgoCD for managing both system and tenant-specific applications. Kubernetes manifests handle initial ArgoCD setup and tenant resources. The CI/CD pipeline automates and synchronizes the process, featuring downstream pipelines for infrastructure provisioning, Kubernetes bootstrap, and application deployments, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow.

Optimizing AWS Core Network Performance

The client faced traffic delays and latency, with customers in one region experiencing high delays accessing resources in the same region. The infrastructure had a single Direct Connect Gateway for three Direct Connect links across different regions, causing route control issues and increased latency. I resolved this by creating additional Direct Connect Gateways for each link, allowing specific route control and backup routes. Managed via Terraform and deployed with GitLab CI pipelines, the solution eliminated high traffic delays for the client's customers.

Design a Highly Available and Scalable Data Center Network

A client needed to design and build the network layer in a US data center. Key tasks included: * Design a highly available and scalable DC network. * Prepare a list of equipment to purchase. * Work with network providers to set up IP transit links and an internet connection. * Prepare documentation for remote hands for physical equipment installation and connection. * Remotely configure devices, including Layer 2 (LACP, Spanning-tree, VPC, VLANs, Trunks) and Layer 3 (IP addressing, BGP, static routes).
