Özgür Yarikkas is a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with nine years of experience building CI/CD automation, infrastructure-as-code, and Kubernetes-driven platforms for automotive and embedded systems teams. Currently at CARIAD, he combines CKA/CKS Kubernetes expertise with LFCS Linux skills to design secure, observable, and automated delivery pipelines using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Zuul, Bazel and Jenkins. His background spans full-stack software development—Python, Django, Flask and Vue.js—paired with hands-on monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic) and container work (Docker, KVM, Vagrant), enabling him to bridge developer workflows and production operations. He has repeatedly acted as lead or focal engineer, coaching new engineers while implementing CI/CD frameworks for BMW’s autonomous driving campus and other complex projects. With an earlier career in aerospace design and an MSc in Automotive Engineering, he brings discipline from safety-critical domains to cloud-native infrastructure. Colleagues value his practical blend of systems thinking, scripting fluency, and a knack for translating engineering constraints into repeatable automation.
