Summary
Veli Veli is a Staff DevOps Engineer based in Bulgaria with 11 years of hands-on experience designing, deploying and maintaining cloud-native and legacy infrastructure across Azure, Kubernetes/AKS, OpenShift and a wide range of Linux/Unix platforms. He combines deep system-administration expertise—from LVM, filesystems and high-availability clustering to storage arrays and virtualization—with modern IaC and GitOps practices using Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD and GitLab CI. Veli has led DevOps initiatives at major enterprises including Deutsche Telekom, Commerzbank and Musala Soft, translating complex operational requirements into reproducible, secure production systems. His background in telecom fiber optics and low-level Unix administration gives him a practical troubleshooting edge when incidents span hardware, network and platform layers. Comfortable both in blueprints and in boots-on-the-ground recovery, he emphasizes documentation, testing and ITIL-aligned processes to reduce risk and mean time to repair. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who balances legacy system knowledge with a clear focus on cloud-native automation.
