ErfanGolzari
DevOps engineer with 5+ years building and running production systems. I started out in full-stack development, so I'm as comfortable reading application code as I am configuring the infrastructure under it. Most of my work is CI/CD, keeping services monitored and online, and tracking down problems wherever they show up — network, service, or code.

Mar 2026 – PresentMashhad, Iran
Pazh/ DevOps Engineer
- Established end-to-end application delivery by building CI/CD pipelines in Gitea Actions (test, build, and deploy stages) across isolated dev, staging, and production environments, each with dedicated configuration, enabling safe and repeatable releases.
- Provisioned and configured development and production servers on Proxmox, standardizing infrastructure and isolating workloads per environment.
- Detected outages before clients noticed them by deploying a full monitoring and alerting stack (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus) with proactive alert rules, improving observability and uptime.
- Secured and segmented the office network by configuring multi-WAN routing, VLAN segmentation, and firewall rules on MikroTik.

Vira Omid Co./ DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer
- Eliminated environment inconsistencies across developer machines and customer deployments by building a complete GitLab CI/CD pipeline from scratch with standardized Docker build environments.
- Enabled consistent, fully tested production releases by designing and enforcing a Gitflow branching strategy tied to sprint-based release cycles.
- Hardened the software supply chain by integrating SonarQube static analysis and post-build container image vulnerability scanning into CI/CD pipelines.
- Sustained reliable connectivity by managing network infrastructure (MikroTik/Cisco, firewall rules, IP-based access control, multi-WAN load balancing, VPN routing) over TCP/IP and HTTP.
