Summary
Andrei Popescu is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Bucharest with 9 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS and Oracle Cloud. He architects Terraform-driven, GitOps-enabled platforms and has reduced manual provisioning and deployment times through integrations with ControlMonkey, ArgoCD and custom Jenkins/Groovy shared libraries. Andrei is proficient in container orchestration (EKS, Karpenter, KEDA), observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and secrets/security hardening workflows (Gitleaks, self-hosted runners). He combines automation skills in Python and Ansible with pragmatic FinOps practices to both accelerate delivery and optimize costs. Known for turning large legacy fleets into automated, self-service platforms (including a Jenkins-as-a-Service and multi-cloud Kubernetes landscapes), he brings a systems-level view informed by earlier roles managing thousands of Linux servers. Outside work he signals a playful contrarian streak—“Being ordinary is boring 😉”—that shows up in pragmatic, creative engineering trade-offs.
