Hi! I'm Alexander Ilves 👋

Enterprise Platform Engineer & Cloud Architect

I design, build, and scale secure, highly available Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) and mission-critical FinTech infrastructure. With 25+ years of experience spanning cloud-native and hybrid environments, I bridge the gap between heavy infrastructure engineering, global compliance, and modern application delivery.

  • 🚀 Current Focus: Engineering secure, high-throughput cloud platforms for global FinTech (Temenos, SWIFT, SEPA) and optimizing infrastructure for AI/LLM workloads.
  • 🏗️ Core Stack: AWS (Certified Solutions Architect Pro), Kubernetes (EKS, GKE), Karpenter, Istio Service Mesh, Terraform, Terragrunt, ArgoCD, GitLab CI.
  • 🔒 SecOps & Compliance: Hands-on automation of SOC2 and ISO 27001 compliance controls, audit readiness, and identity governance.
  • 📈 FinOps: Proven track record of reducing cloud infrastructure costs by 25–30% through deep architectural optimization.

Tech Radar & Tools

  • Cloud & Hybrid: AWS (Advanced), GCP, Azure, VMware (vExpert 2025)
  • Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, kubeadm), Karpenter, Istio, Helm
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, AWS CDK
  • GitOps & CI/CD: ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog
  • Languages & Databases: Python, Bash | PostgreSQL, Aurora, MySQL
