Devops engineer with a bachelor’s degree in CS and ~10 years of experience across systems, infrastructure and automation over SDLC. I mainly act in the devops field: from writing developer pipelines to designing, deploying and owning distributed multi-region CI infrastructures.
In recent years my focus was shifted mainly to platform engineering and running Kubernetes on AWS.
Always trying to keep technologies awareness level up to date; I periodically read books from old good UNIX/Linux API, data structures, algorithms to new projects like k8s, Rust, WASM.
At my current workplace I rebuilt the CI platform on AWS EKS driving a verification lab of ~500 DUTs.
Migrated every in-cluster workload into GitOps (Argo CD) with Kustomize.
Kept infrastructure IaC, observable and deterministic.
Consolidated ingress onto a single Gateway API / Envoy Gateway data plane
Maintained around 30 OCI images for the firmware, FPGA and certification toolchains.
Before the EKS platform: built the original CI system on Jenkins, Docker Swarm and HAProxy, with the first Prometheus, Grafana and Mimir monitoring stack, Slack alerting and self-hosted runners for bitbucket pipelines.
Before that I administered Linux hosts, the Atlassian stack at onsemi. Worked in Big Data with Hadoop clusters, CloudFormation and Ansible at EPAM.
Many thanks,
