Summary
David Haja is a Kubernetes Systems Engineer with a decade of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, currently at Arista Networks in Budapest. He has led architecture and automation efforts at Itron, designing GitOps-driven observability stacks and integrating multi-tool monitoring for multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters. His background spans re-architecting on-prem, multi-datacenter Kubernetes and CI/CD systems, modernizing legacy apps to cloud-native, and building lightweight monitoring and orchestration solutions from OpenStack to edge-aware custom schedulers. A PhD candidate in Computer Engineering, he combines research experience—published work on cloud and edge orchestration—with hands-on SRE skills in Python, Ansible, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, and ArgoCD. Notably, he has implemented latency-aware dynamic clustering and an OpenStack Domain Orchestrator, reflecting a practical focus on performance-sensitive and large-scale systems.
