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.
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.

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.
