Mateusz Oleksy

DevOps Engineer · IBM Software Lab Kraków · M.Sc. Teleinformatics (ICT) @ AGH

M.Sc. student in Teleinformatics (ICT) at AGH UST, working in a DevOps capacity at IBM Software Lab Kraków (Software Developer Intern), now on the OpenSearch team. On watsonx BI I ran OpenShift fleets, hardened cluster security and built internal automation, backed by a networking background in QUIC, WebRTC and TCP/IP. Currently building a Kubernetes-native QUIC load balancer and firewall with eBPF/XDP.

19custom Kyverno policies enforced
10+microservices hardened
< 1 monthto remediate and harden them
  • Operated multi-cluster on-prem OpenShift environments: installs, version upgrades, and node-level troubleshooting; deployed platform tooling such as Argo CD.
  • Handled incidents during cluster upgrades and monitored cluster health with Prometheus and Alertmanager.
  • Enforced 19 custom Kyverno validation policies, rolling out Pod Disruption Budgets and read-only root filesystems across services to keep them available during cluster updates.
  • Led container vulnerability remediation and image hardening across 10+ product microservices in under a month.
Show all 10 highlights
  • Refactored and fixed bugs in a Go service that automates image and configuration sync from SaaS to on-prem deployments.
  • Built a full-stack telemetry tool (Python, Django, Vite, IBM Carbon) tracking deployed versions across distributed on-prem and SaaS environments.
  • Automated CI/CD pipeline status reporting across the organization's repositories with Bash.
  • Developed Ansible playbooks and resilience health checks for custom Kubernetes Operators.
  • Conducted performance testing and benchmarking to produce product sizing data.
  • Refactored Jenkins build-report analytics and its UI; stabilized flaky Selenium E2E suites.

Adaptive QUIC Load Balancer & Firewall

A Kubernetes-native QUIC load balancer and firewall. An eBPF/XDP data plane runs on every pod alongside an in-pod source of truth; a Go operator acts as the control plane, and an intent plane (Python backend, JS frontend) lets users declare policies that adapt to live traffic telemetry.
