Software Engineer @ Kumina

Contributions

  • Designed and developed a modular distributed system with a central web app dashboard to manage and monitor all the Kubernetes clusters of our customers.
  • Created a shared managed MySQL database product called MySQL-Kumi for our customers by designing and developing a Kubernetes Operator that manages users, databases, backups, restores and more from CRDs. This makes it possible for multiple smaller customers to share one big Percona Xtradb Cluster lowering costs while keeping high availability guarantees.
  • Made a 2-3 hours work process every day into a 15 min almost automatic helm upgrades by creating a helm CLI plugin to automate merging internal charts with upstream open source charts.
