Ciobancai Vlad is a DevOps engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He specializes in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Helm and automation pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD/FluxCD), with a track record of keeping core services secure and highly available. Vlad has supported large platforms at Betfair and contributed improvements to DigitalOcean Marketplace Kubernetes apps, upgrading stacks like Ambassador, Loki and Linkerd2 to streamline deployments. He pairs systems-level troubleshooting (DNS, LDAP, NTP) and monitoring with pragmatic developer enablement—writing guides, CI/CD jobs and an internal Flask app to simplify cross-team workflows. Comfortable across Linux, Python and infra-as-code, he blends operational rigor with a penchant for making complex deployments repeatable and easy to consume.
