I worked as a DevOps Engineer at Schwarz IT. Where I am responsible for application containerization using Docker, deploying an application into the Kubernetes cluster, integration automating, testing, and deploying using CI/CD pipelines. Making sure the smooth flow of pipelines, and exposing applications via a public URL. securing an application using SSL.

I worked as a working student at M4_Lab HFT Stuttgart. Where my duties were to do functional and non-functional testing of a project called transfer-portal. I also supported the team in the technical documentation and research. The aim of the project transfer portal was to collect and save the research, code, and ideas of the professor and students of HFT Stuttgart in one place so people inside and outside HFT Stuttgart can take benefit from it.

I wrote my master thesis at Dibuco GmbH. My thesis topic was research on TOSCA. TOSCA stands for (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications). I researched cloud technologies Kubernetes, Helm chart, Ansible, and Terraform, to use TOSCA. for the proof of concept, I defined the prototype using the TOSCA language and deployed it through Ansible playbooks using the xOpera tool.
