Available to hire
I’m Kostas Demiris, a DevOps and cloud automation engineer specializing in Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and AWS. I design scalable, secure infrastructure, implement GitOps workflows with Argo CD, and build reliable CI/CD pipelines across hybrid cloud environments.
Since April 2024 I’ve been training on a custom dataset for detection/classification, doing synthetic data creation, and real-time object detection with YOLO and OpenCV. I enjoy turning complex engineering challenges into practical, well-documented automation and collaborating with teams to ship robust solutions.
