PROFILE

Alexander Kaplan

Worked on Azure/azure-cli to deliver an Azure Monitor Application Monitoring toggle for AKS, adding enable and disable flags to streamline observability management during cluster updates. Updated internal logic to ensure consistent application of monitoring settings throughout AKS upgrades, reducing manual instrumentation. In microsoft/Docker-Provider, experimented with CI/CD release configuration for AppMonitoring, addressing OneBranch’s default-branch limitation and executing a controlled rollback to maintain production stability. Demonstrated disciplined release governance and rapid iteration, documenting changes for future audits. Utilized Python and YAML for configuration management, applying skills in Azure, Kubernetes, and DevOps to improve automation and reliability across cloud-native workflows.
