• MLOps, CloudNative Platform Engineer

  • Mar 2021 - Present

  Contracting (NDA) for one of the top Pharmaceutical companies worldwide, our initial mission is to build and Operationalise an AI/ML Platform based on Kubeflow running on EKS that will serve as the foundation for massively scaling and Automating jumpstart Experiments to Advanced ML Workflows and then to state of the art production environments; trial/triage/adopting and building ML Frameworks and new OPS/ML Tools for reproducible components (Orchestrated Workflows, Data Processing, Training and Scalable/Meshed Inference). Working as a Developer/Architect together with a team of brilliant engineers, we are designing a reproducible MLOps Cloud Platform based on Kubeflow/Kserve plus an abundant stack of cloud native Applications, running in multiple Amazon EKS clusters. The MLOps Platform we have designed is being adopted by many users inside the organisation, therefore the security and multi-tenancy features are key components in the stack. Speeding up the delivery process of Microservice based API's by embracing GitOps completely using ArgoCD. My daily routine includes (amongst other things): - Designing and improving ML Training Workflows/KServe Inference endpoints - Experimenting with various Autoscaling strategies that can respond to increases in traffic for Serving endpoints - Setting up RBAC and Authorization Policies - Integrating OIDC and Authentication Providers to enable SSO across the stack - Developing Custom Helm Apps (Authorization Gateway based on OAuth2-proxy + Istio Auth Policies for securing API's, Model Serving Operators, LoadTesting using Python scripts/Vegeta, etc) - Extending Kubeflow RBAC/Authorization by customising various resources/config - Secrets management using AWS KMS, SOPS, Vault - Spinning up EKS clusters based on a modular provisioning template using IAAC (kustomize/helm, aws cdk) on GitLab CI/CD. Apart from learning and working with various AWS CDK Constructs, I started growing an appreciation for Kustomize and Python. Show less

  • Jun 2020 - Feb 2021

  Part of a team of great engineers, working on Otomi Container Platform. Otomi Platform has in its core offerings a basic, configurable, or integrated stack of Cloud Native Applications including: Istio, Gatekeeper and OPA policy manager which makes Otomi a security oriented Kubernetes Self-Managed Platform and much more! From a Central Dashboard, Otomi Platform simplifies enterprise management of the operational services for small/large enterprises, allowing multiple Kubernetes clusters to be managed across top cloud providers. I started integrating KeyCloak as the Identity and Access Management service of the stack, allowing any OIDC compliant Identity Providers to be used for managing users and permissions. SSO sessions are created through KeyCloak offloading the Authentication to AzureAD and delegating Authorization policies to Istio using JWT standards. Writing tools for static analysis checking to help validate Kubernetes manifests against schema specification and OPA security policies to enable conformance strategies for Kubernetes clusters and resources. Besides delving deeper in many advanced and unifying Kubernetes concepts, I am also getting better at Shell Scripting, TypeScript, Rego, YAML and many other Open Standards. Show less
