Summary
Hadi Azaddel is a Site Reliability Engineer with about a decade of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale, cloud-native platforms—most recently leading an 11-person platform team for a major finance company and managing Kubernetes fleets of 100+ nodes. He specializes in Kubernetes, Terraform/Ansible-driven automation, GitOps (ArgoCD), and developing Kubernetes Operators in Go, with strong Python experience and a practical love of K8s reflected across his work. Hadi has run national CDN infrastructure (BGP/Anycast, Katran) on distributed bare-metal, automated provisioning to accelerate deployments fivefold, and built observability and alerting ecosystems using Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics. He blends software engineering and SRE practices—introducing testable automation, SLO-based reliability for AI services, and secure zero-trust policies for air-gapped environments—making him effective at bridging legacy constraints and modern cloud ops. Based in Armenia, Quindío, Colombia, he pairs an MSc in Networking with startup and enterprise experience, uniquely comfortable both designing high-throughput systems and coding production operators to manage them.
