$ Built Linea Edge EKS clusters in different AZs hosting P2P EL/CL nodes, defining a clear separation between core infrastructure and public-facing P2P nodes.

$ Built GitOps stack with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions and AWS IAM using "Apps of Apps" pattern for seamless K8s deployments.

$ Implemented rigorous RBAC policies for Kubernetes and ArgoCD relying on OKTA and AWS IAM.

$ Implemented Web3Signer REST service in a restricted AWS account with HSM for signing core transactions.

$ Contributed to Infura's Kubernetes Operator enabling seamless blockchain node scaling, syncing, backup and peer discovery.
