PROFILE

Alex Souslik

Over a two-month period, contributed backend features to open-source cloud infrastructure projects with a focus on reliability and efficiency. In the akeylesslabs/helm-charts repository, enabled high-availability Redis deployments by migrating from the Bitnami Redis chart to a Redis-HA fork, updating Helm templates and configuration to support resilient production rollouts on Kubernetes. Later, in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib, added gzip and zstd compression support for the Google Cloud Storage exporter, implementing automatic file extension handling and comprehensive unit tests in Go. This work reduced storage costs and improved transfer times for log data, demonstrating proficiency in Go, Helm, and cloud-native backend development.
