Docker & Containerized Deployments

Containerize apps consistently across dev, staging, and production—with safe rollouts and clear rollback paths.

CI/CD Pipelines

Build, test, and deploy automatically via GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Faster releases with fewer human mistakes.

FAQ

Common questions.

Quick answers about DevOps, AWS, monitoring, and security.

Do you work with existing infrastructure or only new setups?

Both. I often start by stabilizing and improving what you already have, then iterate toward a clean, reliable setup.

Can you set up monitoring and alerts that actually help?

Yes. Alerts should be actionable and tied to business impact. I tune alerting to reduce noise and catch real issues early.

Do you help with backups and disaster recovery?

Yes. Backups must be verified with restore tests. I also document recovery steps (runbooks) so outages are handled calmly and quickly.

Where do you work with clients?

I'm based in Slovenia and work with clients across Slovenia and the EU. Most DevOps work can be done remotely with clear communication and access policies.
