Dennis - a platforms engineer. Based in Bulgaria. 25yo.

I have been mainly in operations through the years and I do not feel confident in my programming skills but I somehow manage to write code that is often shipped to production.

My Interests:

• Platform Engineering: It’s just cool and I seem to be good at it.
• Programming: It’s way cooler but I am quite bad at it.
• AI/ML: Maybe I’m hype-blinded but this sh*t looks and feels super futuristic, almost magical.
• Writing: I just like sharing my views & having discussions with people online.

Technologies I consider myself proficient at:

• Kubernetes: ArgoCD, nginx-ingress-controller, cert-manager, external-secrets, external-dns, grafana, prometheus, velero, sealed-secrets
• Containerisation: Docker, Packer
• Infrastructure: Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL), Wind*ws Server, vSphere
• Infrastructure As Code: Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi
• Cloud: Azure, AWS, DigitalOcean
• CI/CD: Azure DevOps, Github Actions
• Scripting: BASH, Python
• probably more… will update in time

Technologies I worked with but do not consider myself proficient at:

• Databases: SQL, Supabase, Firebase, MongoDB, DynamoDB, CosmosDB
• Programming Languages: JavaScript (Node, React-Native, Next, various other libraries), TypeScript (mainly JS with an :any and that’s that), Python (mainly scripting), Go
• probably more… will update in time

My Projects:

• geeklore.io: A community platform, gamified with rpg elements. Features include badges, level & experience system, and a resume builder.
• globchess.com: A global chess board where anyone can make the next move in the form of a token. One token costs $1. I wrote a very very bad code though so I need to update it and deploy again.
• kubeden.io: My baby project and personal blog. Built entirely for my own satisfaction with Golang, hosted on an ArgoCD Kubernetes cluster with CI/CD enabled.
