Peter Dongo
DevOps Architect · AI Engineer · App Developer — Keszthely, Hungary
DevOps & Platform Engineer with 6+ years designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure. I build the platforms teams ship on — Kubernetes, GitOps and infrastructure-as-code — and the products that run on top of them, increasingly with AI woven through. Alongside my work I design and ship my own apps end to end.
