I've got three certifications:
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator
- AWS SysOps Administrator
- Azure (AZ-900)
Started my career as a system administrator almost 20 years ago, have huge experience with networking (routing, firewall, traffic shaping etc), Linux and Windows management, automation using a lot of languages like Bash, Perl, Python for Linux and PowerShell, VBS for Windows ecosystem. Also, I have experience as a software developer, I've developed a lot of tools for business process automation on C#.
The most recent projects:
- High-load SaaS product of one the biggest IT service provider.
As a part of the Cloud Operations team, I was responsible for creating deployments automation using Ansible, creating automation for assessing services before releases (performance, stability), preparing DR scenarios, developing monitoring and alerting rules;
- Online shops one of the biggest retailer in EU
Improving Jenkins and Atlassian Bamboo CI/CD pipelines, creating and improving existing scripts of the Chef automation tool (and creating CI/CD for them), participating in splitting monolith application into microservices and running them on Kubernetes (creating dockerfiles, Helm charts, deployment strategies using Istio), managing infrastructure in AWS and Azure;
- USA startup that provides data science services and automation for field workers.
Stabilizing the solution, implement cheap and reliable logging and monitoring systems (Zabbix+Prometheus/Grafana, ElasticSearch + FluentBit). Adjusted resource configuration in the AWS cloud that allowed to decrease monthly bill up to 40%. Migrated application and ETL pipelines in Kubernetes allowed to increase stability and decrease costs. Introducing GitOps approach for managing Kubernetes cluster allowed to achieve great visibility and simplify DR.
- EU startup with Project Management solution
Created infrastructure for two environments in Azure using ARM templates, Azure DevOps pipelines for code delivery, introduced autocaling.
Currently, I focused on the Kubernetes ecosystem and would like to work on projects which adopted it or are in the process of adaptation.

And I definitely wouldn't work with Windows-based projects (nevertheless it doesn't relate to Azure cloud)
