Project scope #
I served as the project and technical lead of infrastructure for CDK Global’s Container platform, working as a subcontractor through an outsourcing agency. I led a team of 5 to 6 DevOps/Platform Engineers to develop infrastructure, automation, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Additionally, we created a bespoke monitoring solution with long-term storage using Prometheus, Grafana, and Thanos.
My responsibilities in this project included:
- Providing technical leadership to the DevOps team
- Collaborating closely with stakeholders, other CDK teams, and project managers
- Contributing significantly to technical details while planning future work in sprints
- Leading the development of automation using Go and Terraform
