🚀 I am Thomas Hein Thura
🔹 Technical Manager & Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) | Kubernetes, WSO2 & Cloud-Native Architect
I am a results-driven Technical Manager and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) with deep expertise in architecting and operating enterprise-grade platforms across Kubernetes, DevOps, API Management, and Data Engineering. I specialize in designing scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure in hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments for mission-critical industries like banking, telecom, and media.
- 🏗️ Platform Engineering: I build and lead the development of robust, production-grade Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, Arc-enabled) and modernize legacy systems by migrating them to cloud-native microservices. A key project involved deploying WSO2 on AWS Kubernetes for a major streaming platform, cutting API latency by over 70%.
- 🚀 DevOps & GitOps: I architect modern CI/CD pipelines grounded in GitOps principles (Argo CD, FluxCD) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane) to automate and accelerate the software delivery lifecycle.
- 🔐 Security & Observability: I implement comprehensive security and observability stacks, utilizing tools like Cilium and Kyverno for policy enforcement and the ELK Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana for full-stack monitoring.
- 👨🏫 Leadership & Mentorship: As an MCT, I am passionate about empowering technical teams. I have led a cross-functional team of 11 engineers, mentored 7+ interns in DevOps and DBA roles, and delivered over a dozen technical training sessions on Kubernetes, WSO2, and cloud technologies.
