I participated, took responsibility and achieved results in the following activities:

- Hiring, managing and leading team members, adopting agile practices.
- Organizing on call shifts.
- Bringing SRE and DevOps culture.
- Process setup and transformations.
- Organizing development processes: instruments and tools, Git, merge, artifact flows.
- Planning architecture and building infrastructure.

- Bringing Infrastructure as Code culture and implementation.
- Implementing CI/CD pipelines and app delivery.
- Managing and planning environments including Kubernetes.
- Operating production under heavy workload, DDoS.
- Information Security enforcing and implementation.
- Server capacity planning and budgeting.
I have experience in the server system administration since 1999. Since 2014 I've been focused on the DevOps and SRE. 

Through these years I played different roles from a professional services engineer to a multi-functional DevOps team lead.

At the present time I am helping small teams and projects to do their DevOps better:

- Plan and setup GitLab, groups, projects (Git-repositories), permissions, merge flows.
- Write and support pipelines (mostly using GitLab CI) for building, testing and deploying apps with or without Docker to Kubernetes and classic environments.
- Start and maintain services for the software development team: GitLab, Jira, Confluence, Rancher, Sentry, Grafana etc.
- Plan, provision and maintain infrastructure on-premise (bare metal) or in the clouds like Azure or AWS using technologies like Ubuntu Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, NGINX, RabbitMQ, Prometheus, Grafana, Metabase, Alerta, Sentry.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code approach using SaltStack, GitLab, Python, YAML etc.

As a software engineer I enjoy automating things, writing pipelines and code for ops like provisioning, app deployment, backup, monitoring etc. I like to design data structures to inventory and manage hardware and software, to seek for the patterns that help to avoid bottlenecks and increase repeatability, minimize the human factor and configuration drift.
I can bring the most benefits to a project in a startup phase or a product companies that need to put its infrastructure in order.

I expect part-time remote cooperation only. My goal is to share my experience and DevOps vision and to help the project to obtain success and stability in their DevOps and SRE.
