Work History
Applied R&D Engineer (NSP)
Nokia
Ottawa, ON
01.2022 - Current
- Administrating(k9s), troubleshooting, and maintaining a containerized distributed product setup represented by various Kubernetes workloads
- Manually reproducing bug scenarios for the application (NSP) deployed from a hypervisor on several VM's using k8s and k3s clusters as orchestration tools and the harbor registry to host container images
- The application is deployed with helm charts ,that hold the descriptions for the product workloads starting from regular deployments, configmaps, statefulsets, etc going as far as custom resources (API extension workloads), into the Kubernetes cluster
- To achieve that, deployed the product environment using most of the DevOps stack (Ansible, Docker, helm, Kubernetes, etc.) coupled with the knowledge of the networking stack (Linux networking, Kubernetes CNI).
- Evaluating existing processes and technology solutions for improvement opportunities.
- Advising customers on use of products or services.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout the development process to ensure successful outcomes.
- Providing feedback to design engineers on customer problems or needs.
- Identifying the root cause and providing analysis proving it
- Conducting analyses addressing failure, reliability or yield improvement.
Home Lab Maintainer
n/a
Ottawa, ON
05.2020 - Current
- Running my homelab/cloud with an AMD Ryzen Mini PC 16GB using PROXMOX as an orchestration solution for my VM's.
- Deployed a containerized gaming server of publicly accessible Docker images (https://github.com/CM2Walki/steamcmd)
- Have performed various Kubernetes Service Mesh projects, have actively used the homelab/cloud to prepare for the online certifications (CKA, CKS) and to understand the CI/CD Pipeline architecture hands on.
- Have been truly interested in implementing all the solutions I can get my hands on from CNCF youtube videos
- Have deployed Kubernetes platforms for various scenarios every possible way (Kubernetes the hard way, Kind, minikube, kubeadm, kubespray etc... )
- Recently have been very interested in "reconcile" functions which are the core logic for the Kubernetes controllers/operators (Controllers are written in GO and deployed as a set of CRD's)
- Also have been trying to allocate time to contribute to the Glasskube Open Source Project (https://github.com/glasskube) since I am very interested in a Kubernetes proprietary "package manager" with a GUI.
- Due to the lack of a startup idea for an application I have been focusing on the Platform/DevOps side during my free time ever since I graduated in year 2022.)
