As a DevOps engineer, I focused on maintaining system stability and minimizing downtime by implementing effective monitoring and alerting tools that quickly flagged issues before they could impact users. I worked closely with development teams to streamline software releases, reducing delays and helping us bring products to market faster. I played a key role in incident management, quickly resolving problems in production and ensuring smooth operation even in high-stakes environments. I also coordinated disaster recovery planning, making sure the team was prepared to keep critical systems running during unexpected events.


My role involved a wide range of responsibilities, including running complex SQL queries, refreshing databases, and analyzing data to identify patterns, allowing us to make continuous improvements in our processes. I kept a proactive approach to troubleshooting, investigating logs and tracking issues within the code to prevent and solve potential problems. Regularly interacting with clients, I addressed concerns and ensured high customer satisfaction through clear, timely communication.


In addition to my technical duties, I worked to enhance team productivity by providing feedback, establishing effective communication channels, and supporting each team member in meeting our shared goals. Managing multiple projects simultaneously, I adapted to changing business needs and tight deadlines, using my analytical skills to solve complex challenges and keep operations on track. My proactive, problem-solving approach allowed me to handle issues quickly and effectively, maintaining system reliability and improving team performance.

Internship

During my three-month internship as a DevOps intern at IBM Romania, I gained a deep understanding of the role of DevOps engineers in the development process and their contributions to CI/CD principles. I began my journey with Docker, where I actively participated in creating and deploying containers. Additionally, I learned how to orchestrate containers for a web application, ensuring it could scale seamlessly based on demand, which improved its overall resilience. I also worked with the ELK stack, utilizing Elasticsearch to index logs from a distributed system, Logstash for processing, and Kibana for generating insightful visualizations, which greatly aided in troubleshooting and analysis.
