Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndreas Tsarida is a Senior Monitoring Engineer based in Zurich with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale, automated infrastructure. He blends systems architecture and DevOps expertise—spanning SaltStack, Ansible, Kubernetes, Prometheus and Grafana—with full-stack scripting in Golang, Python and PowerShell to deliver reliable deployment and observability platforms. At Credit Suisse he built RESTful services, custom Salt packages and a geo-replicated package filesystem, and he has contributed upstream fixes to the widely used SaltStack project to improve scheduling and bootstrap behavior. His work spans both Windows and Linux ecosystems and emphasizes secure, automated package distribution and scalable monitoring agents like OpenTelemetry and Telegraf. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he moves between low-level agent tweaks and high-level architecture, ensuring operational resilience in regulated environments. He combines enterprise-grade discipline with open-source contributions that reduce friction for infrastructure teams.
