Turno.

Platform Engineer

Current

Infrastructure, reliability and developer experience for products in production.

  • Led the full migration of Taskbird, Turno’s sister product, from DigitalOcean to GCP/GKE: application runtime, MySQL, Redis, Kafka and analytics, through cutover and decommissioning the previous environment.
  • Reduced Redis and Cloud SQL memory usage by 50% after the migration. Also moved Redis to high availability, with tested failover and infrastructure managed through Terraform.
  • Replaced CPU-based autoscaling with queue-based scaling using KEDA across three services, allowing idle workers to scale to zero.
  • Restored 12 Grafana alert rules that had stopped evaluating, and added CI validation to reject alerts with invalid data sources.
  • Served as incident commander or on-call engineer during five production incidents in 2026, writing root cause analyses and turning corrective actions into new alerts.
  • Shipped booking-api to production with Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform and Kafka, resolving 18 CVEs before launch. Added cosign signing to the internal developer CLI.
  • Migrated pipelines from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, using self-hosted runners managed with Terraform, increasing release volume by 35%.
