Filip Chlebowski

Platform & DevOps Engineer

Freelance. I build and operate Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure.

I've been building software and running infrastructure since 2018, starting as a programmer, moving into DevOps, and since 2025 running my own company. My focus is Kubernetes, GitOps, infrastructure as code and observability, and I'm comfortable owning infrastructure end-to-end: from cluster bootstrap and networking to day-2 operations, upgrades and incident response. I currently work with Hitachi, Healthdom, Nuvira and Chainloop.dev as a senior DevOps engineer, and I care about keeping systems simple, well-documented and cheap to run.
