CV -- Alex Morgan

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands Email: alex@example.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alexmorgan-devops Portfolio: alexmorgan.dev GitHub: github.com/alexmorgan

Professional Summary

Platform engineer with 8 years building and running cloud-native infrastructure for product teams. Shipped self-service deployment pipelines, hardened multi-region Kubernetes estates, and cut mean lead time for changes from weeks to hours. Strong in Terraform, Kubernetes, and observability; comfortable pairing with application teams on reliability and cost.

Work Experience

Northwind Digital -- Amsterdam, Netherlands

Senior Platform Engineer 2020-2025

  • Owned the internal Kubernetes platform (EKS): cluster upgrades, node pools, network policies, and admission controllers (OPA/Gatekeeper) aligned with security baselines
  • Built GitOps workflows (Argo CD) and reusable Helm charts; standardized 40+ services on a golden path with guardrails instead of one-off manifests
  • Led infrastructure-as-code for AWS (Terraform, Terragrunt): VPC design, IAM least-privilege patterns, and cost allocation tags consumed by FinOps dashboards
  • Improved incident response: SLOs per service, on-call playbooks, and blameless postmortems; reduced repeat incidents by tightening runbooks and alert noise (PagerDuty + Grafana)
  • Mentored developers on containers, CI secrets, and safe rollouts (canary, feature flags at the edge)

Streamline Analytics -- Remote

DevOps Engineer 2016-2020

  • Maintained Jenkins → GitHub Actions migration for build and deploy; introduced reusable workflows and OIDC-based AWS auth (no long-lived keys in CI)
  • Operated production on AWS: EC2 → partial EKS adoption, RDS backups, and disaster-recovery drills documented quarterly
  • Implemented centralized logging (ELK) and metrics (Prometheus); partnered with backend teams to define RED metrics for critical APIs

Projects

  • kube-lab-notes (Open Source) -- Minimal cluster recipes and troubleshooting notes for platform learners
  • tf-snippets (Personal) -- Opinionated Terraform modules for VPC, EKS, and observability stacks (reference only)

Education

  • BSc Computer Science, University of Twente (2016)

Skills

  • Platforms: Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, Docker, Linux
  • Cloud & IaC: AWS (EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS), Terraform, Terragrunt

  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK basics
  • Security: OIDC, secrets management, network policies, baseline hardening
  • Practices: SRE concepts, capacity planning, incident management, FinOps awareness
