DevOps Staff Engineer

At Xperi (TiVo / DTS), I worked as a DevOps Staff Engineer on DTS AutoStage – a global, content-first infotainment platform for automotive manufacturers.

DTS AutoStage enhances the in-car media experience by enriching traditional radio and streaming audio with additional metadata such as album art, track information, related artists, upcoming content, and personalized suggestions (e.g. podcasts, stations playing similar music, and more). This platform powers infotainment systems in vehicles from major global OEMs.

My role focused on building and maintaining the cloud infrastructure behind this system, hosted on Google Cloud Platform. I supported development teams working on GCP-based applications, designed internal tooling, and maintained CI/CD pipelines.

I played a key role in migrating legacy services to Kubernetes, reducing operational costs and simplifying deployment workflows. I introduced GKE Autopilot clusters for selected workloads and implemented static application security testing (SAST) on commit.

In addition, I developed Lua plugins for OpenResty used in the content delivery pipeline, and introduced HashiCorp Waypoint to streamline the developer experience.

I also provided on-call support and implemented DLP-inspired countermeasures to prevent security issues such as hardcoded credentials.

Technologies used: Terraform, Atlantis, Sentry, GCP, Helm, Go, Python, Lua, Kubernetes (and others)
