Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichal Knapčok is a DevOps developer with 5 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, primarily on AWS and Kubernetes. He has practical expertise automating provisioning with Terraform and GitHub/Drone CI, and designing CD pipelines using ArgoCD and Spinnaker to streamline releases across multi-region environments. At Cisco and Smartlook he focused on resilient, secure deployments—managing EKS clusters, EC2 runners, VPC networking and observability with Datadog—while maintaining legacy OpenStack estates earlier in his career. His academic background in network engineering informs strong competency in routing, network security and hybrid cloud design, exemplified by a master’s thesis on highly available, self-healing AWS infrastructure for small enterprises. Known for rapid learning, clear cross-cultural communication and a pragmatic troubleshooting approach, he pairs operational rigor with a drive to simplify developer workflows. An unusual asset: he combines low-level network/admin experience from running a 3,500+ user campus network with modern CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices.
