Vlăduț-Andrei Adochiței

Full Stack DevOps Engineer

I design and implement scalable, automated solutions to streamline cloud infrastructure and support ENGIE’s mission-critical networking backbone. My work spans architecting full-stack applications for infrastructure automation, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, and developing serverless, event-driven architectures using AWS services like Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, and DynamoDB.
I collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate cloud-native services, ensure system reliability, and implement secure authentication and access control via OIDC, SAML, and OKTA. A key focus is delivering near-zero downtime solutions and enabling seamless adaptation to evolving business needs.

DevOps Engineer

I focused on enhancing CI/CD pipeline capabilities and streamlining deployment processes. A significant part of my work involved the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines, emphasizing the use of GitHub Actions. I extensively leveraged composite actions and created custom composite actions using Python, which greatly enhanced the modularity and reusability of our pipeline workflows.
I also worked on automating the full lifecycle of Helm charts, including their building, testing, and publishing to Artifactory, ensuring efficient delivery and integration with our infrastructure. My experience included creating Python tooling for managing Kubernetes (K8s) and Vault secrets, as well as building generic automation solutions that served various DevOps needs. Additionally, I worked on the operationalization and customization of ArgoCD, aligning it with organizational security requirements and integrating it with authentication services like OKTA and AD. I took part in the development of comprehensive documentation to support the adoption and understanding of these systems, ensuring the smooth onboarding of teams and contributing to best practices across the organization. My technical contributions spanned programming in Python, application containerization, and deploying K8s cluster-oriented applications.

DevOps Technical Lead Substitute

I was offered the opportunity to take on a temporary DevOps Technical Lead position, where I was responsible for team coordination, sprint planning and oversight, backlog prioritization, and facilitating quarterly product reviews. I worked with stakeholders and clients to align on objectives and contributed to the review and development of architectural patterns to support project goals.
The business unit I led focused on CI/CD and DevOps tooling, utilizing a tech stack that included GitHub Actions, AWS (IAM, EKS), containers, CI/CD pipelines, ArgoCD, and GitOps methodologies. This temporary role provided valuable experience in developing leadership skills and supporting the team to meet its objectives.

Junior Cloud DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer within the Cloud Infrastructure and CI/CD division at MassMutual, specializing in Python-based automation, ArgoCD GitOps adoption strategy, and vulnerability remediation. Developed enterprise-grade infrastructure solutions and internal tooling using Flask to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency. Key achievements include creating golden container images, implementing GitOps with FluxCD and ArgoCD (POC level), and integrating company processes through a containerized Web UI. Proficient in Python, AWS, Kubernetes, and container lifecycle management, with a focus on securing and hardening environments to meet industry standards.

Intern Cloud Engineer

Completed a full-time internship program focused on developing core skills in cloud engineering and DevOps, combining theoretical training with practical assignments to master operational and automation processes in cloud environments. Gained hands-on experience with key technologies, including AWS for cloud infrastructure, Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Linux scripting, Python automation, Docker for containerization, and Kubernetes for orchestration. Notable projects include deploying WordPress using Terraform on AWS and scripting server configurations. This internship culminated in a full-time position offer within the DevOps department, reflecting my demonstrated proficiency and growth.
