What I deliver

Practical improvements that reduce incidents, speed up releases, and protect your business.

AWS architecture & cost control

Right-size resources, improve network/security boundaries, and keep cost predictable (alerts, budgets, and tagging).

Docker & containerized deployments

Containerize apps consistently across dev/staging/prod, with safe rollouts and clear rollback paths.

CI/CD pipelines

Build, test, and deploy automatically (GitHub/GitLab). Faster releases with fewer human mistakes.

Monitoring & alerting

Uptime, logs, metrics, and actionable alerts. Find issues early — before customers report them.

Backups, retention & recovery

Automated backups, verified restore procedures, and clear RPO/RTO targets for your business.

Security hardening

HTTPS, least-privilege IAM, firewall rules, secret management, audit logs, and practical threat reduction.

Typical outcomes: faster deploys, fewer incidents, better visibility, and confidence that systems recover quickly.

Reliability playbook

A clear approach to prevent outages and reduce firefighting.

1) Baseline & quick wins

Audit the current setup (infra, deploy flow, logs/metrics, backups). Fix the biggest risks first.

2) Standardize environments

Docker + consistent configs across environments. Fewer “works on my machine” surprises.

3) Observability

Metrics, logs, tracing (where needed), and alerts tuned to business-impacting issues.

4) Backups & recovery drills

Backups that are actually restorable. Documented runbooks and periodic recovery tests.

Tools & technologies

Focused on proven tooling that keeps systems maintainable.

  • AWS (EC2, S3, CloudWatch, IAM, VPC) and cost monitoring
  • Docker, docker-compose, and container best practices
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI)
  • Nginx, TLS/HTTPS, reverse proxies, caching
  • Monitoring & alerting (metrics + logs + uptime checks)
  • Backups, retention policies, and recovery runbooks

Locations served

Based in Slovenia — working with clients across the EU (remote-friendly).

I commonly support teams in Slovenia and across the EU — including Austria, Germany, Croatia, and Italy. If you need a reliable DevOps partner for ongoing improvements or a one-off stabilization project, I can help.

Want a quick DevOps/AWS estimate?

Share your current setup, the main issue (performance, outages, security, deployment pain), and your timeline — I’ll reply with next steps.

FAQ

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.
