Role: Personal engineering project
Year: 2026
Status: Completed

Challenges & solutions

01
Scale CI for concurrent builds
ciscalability
Problem
Static Jenkins agents became a bottleneck.
Solution
Kubernetes-based ephemeral build agents created per build and destroyed afterwards.
02
Build images without privileged Docker-in-Docker
security
Problem
Mounting the Docker socket in the cluster is a security risk.
Solution
Kaniko builds and pushes images from inside unprivileged pods.

Deep dive

☸️ Cloud-Native DevOps Platform

A production-oriented Kubernetes platform for containerised workloads, built from the ground up.

✨ What it does

Designed a production-oriented Kubernetes platform for containerised workloads
Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Kubernetes-based ephemeral build agents
Automated container image builds using Kaniko (no Docker daemon in the cluster)
Managed deployments and upgrades using Helm and GitOps practices with ArgoCD
Implemented observability with Prometheus and Grafana

🔄 Pipeline

git push → Jenkins (ephemeral pod agent)
         → Kaniko build & push image
         → bump Helm values in Git
         → ArgoCD syncs cluster
         → Prometheus scrapes · Grafana dashboards
