Tran Manh ToanBackend & Cloud-Native Engineer. Reliable, cloud-native, GitOps-driven infrastructure.

Backend & Cloud-Native Engineer who ships infrastructure end to end — IaC, containers, CI/CD and observability. Currently building cloud platforms at SETA International, open to hearing about new opportunities.

01About

I build the whole path — from Terraform module to production pod.

In a services team or on my own — the deliverable is the same: infrastructure and services running in production, not a diagram.

Backend & Cloud-Native Engineer with hands-on experience provisioning AWS infrastructure, containerizing services, and running GitOps-based delivery pipelines. I take systems from a manually configured server to reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure — Terraform modules, Kubernetes via Helm, ArgoCD for deployment, and Prometheus/Grafana/Loki for observability — with backend services in Go, Python and Node.js/TypeScript underneath.

The stack I reach for, grouped by what it actually solves.

22 tools across 6 areas — every one of them shipped in a production system or a project of my own.

03Experience

Two roles, one throughline: infrastructure people can trust.

A services company and a university innovation center — each one moved from ad-hoc setup to something reproducible and observable.

  1. Software Engineer — Backend & Cloud-Native Focus

    SETA International Viet Nam·Ha Noi

    NowMar 2025 — Present

    Backend microservices and cloud-native infrastructure for client platforms, from API design through to the environment running it.

    • Engineered scalable backend microservices and RESTful APIs aligned with 12-Factor App principles, keeping application design stateless for container autoscaling.
    • Containerized multi-tier web applications using Docker multi-stage builds, reducing runtime image footprint and enforcing non-root security standards.
    • Maintained automated CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions, incorporating automated unit tests, linting, and container registry publishing.
    • Profiled runtime performance and tuned PostgreSQL connection pooling and query execution, mitigating latency spikes during peak traffic.
    • Authored environment configuration standards, infrastructure runbooks, and deployment guidelines to bridge development and operations workflows.

  2. Intern

    PIPPIP — SoICT Innovation Center·Ha Noi

    Sep 2024 — Feb 2025

    Clean Architecture and configuration standardization work at HUST's software innovation center.

    • Applied Clean Architecture principles to decouple core domain logic from framework dependencies and external database tiers.
    • Standardized local development environments and configuration management across team setups, minimizing configuration drift between machines.
    • Participated in architectural reviews to analyze system boundary isolation, structured logging, and automated dependency pipelines.

04Selected projects

Infrastructure and platforms I’ve taken from zero to production.

Client and personal builds where I owned the environment end to end: provisioning, delivery pipeline and the service running on top.

05Writing

I write about the parts that only bite in production.

Cloud infrastructure, GitOps pipelines, and decisions that looked fine on a whiteboard.
