IT Operations Engineer at Metric Gaming
At Metric Gaming, I worked remotely as part of a diverse team of eight professionals spread across various countries, which honed my ability to collaborate effectively in a global and multicultural setting. I gained hands-on experience in managing containerized applications using Kubernetes and implemented continuous deployment strategies with ArgoCD. My role also involved setting up system monitoring and performance analysis using tools like Grafana and Datadog, which were new to me but quickly became essential to our operations.
Additionally, I was responsible for managing user and device authentication and security through Jump Cloud, as well as administering platforms like Slack, Jira, and Bitbucket. This ensured smooth communication and efficient project management for our remote team. I oversaw user onboarding and offboarding processes, resolved technical issues via Jira tickets, and played a key role in incident management, providing support during both major and minor incidents.
One of my significant contributions was developing scripts to monitor and manage device uptime, and updating the Onboarding process to prevent issues for day one processes
