Anton Gordynski

DevOps Engineer

I build and operate reliable AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, Helm, GitLab CI/CD, and practical observability.

Based in Krakow, Poland. Open to DevOps, platform, and SRE-focused engineering roles.

About

I am a DevOps Engineer focused on building and operating reliable cloud infrastructure, automating delivery workflows, and improving how applications are deployed and supported in production.

My work spans cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes operations, CI/CD, observability, and incident troubleshooting. I particularly enjoy turning manual or unclear operational processes into repeatable automation: whether that is a Terraform module, an Ansible playbook, a deployment pipeline, or a runbook that helps teams release safely with less manual work and makes the next incident easier to resolve.

Cloud platforms

AWS: EKS, IAM, CloudWatch, S3, ACM, Secrets Manager, and load balancing
GCP: GKE, Cloud Storage, Cloud Monitoring, IAM, Secret Manager, and Cloud Load Balancing

Current focus areas

Deploying and operating Kubernetes workloads using Helm, ingress controllers, cert-manager, configuration management, and rollback-friendly delivery pipelines
Troubleshooting production systems using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK, and OpenSearch to understand application behavior and improve reliability
Automating infrastructure provisioning and application delivery with Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, and supporting tooling
Improving operational processes, deployment documentation, and runbooks for multi-environment systems

Featured Projects

Tenant Provisioning Automation

2024 - 2026

Improved a slow, manual tenant setup process across several environments by turning repeatable operational work into documented automation.

Solution

Combined process review, Terraform and Ansible automation, GitLab deployment workflows, configuration management, and operational documentation to make provisioning more predictable.

Impact

Reduced setup time for a new tenant from roughly six months to three months, and later to around one and a half months.

Kubernetes Python/PostgreSQL App

Public lab project

Built a Kubernetes deployment for a containerized Python and PostgreSQL application to demonstrate application orchestration and environment configuration.

Solution

Defined Kubernetes manifests for application and database workloads, including configuration needed to run the services consistently in a cluster environment.

Impact

Shows practical Kubernetes deployment knowledge beyond listing tools: workloads, service configuration, database dependencies, and repeatable environment setup.

AWS App Provisioning with Terraform and Ansible

Public lab project

Automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration for a Python/PostgreSQL demo application running on AWS.

Solution

Used Terraform and Ansible to make cloud resources and operational configuration repeatable instead of relying on manual setup steps.

Impact

Demonstrates the infrastructure-as-code habits used in production work: repeatability, remote-friendly provisioning, and clearer deployment handoff.
