Schedule Interview NowMarks P. - DevOps Engineer, GitLab, Git
My name is Marks P. and I have over 3 years years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Amazon Web Services, Python, Bash, Linux, DevOps, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor's degree, Bachelor's degree, Bachelor's degree. Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Optimizing and Maintaining Multi-Environment Applications on EKS, Secure, Optimize and move to IaC Multi-Environment Infrastructure, Kubernetes-Based Multi-Tenant Platform on AWS EKS with ArgoCD, Optimizing AWS Core Network Performance, Design a Highly Available and Scalable Data Center Network. I am based in Jelgava, Latvia. I've successfully completed 5 projects while developing at Softaims.
I specialize in architecting and developing scalable, distributed systems that handle high demands and complex information flows. My focus is on building fault-tolerant infrastructure using modern cloud practices and modular patterns. I excel at diagnosing and resolving intricate concurrency and scaling issues across large platforms.
Collaboration is central to my success; I enjoy working with fellow technical experts and product managers to define clear technical roadmaps. This structured approach allows the team at Softaims to consistently deliver high-availability solutions that can easily adapt to exponential growth.
I maintain a proactive approach to security and performance, treating them as integral components of the design process, not as afterthoughts. My ultimate goal is to build the foundational technology that powers client success and innovation.

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).
