August 2017 - till now: Cloud Infrastructure Engineer\Team Lead
In my current position, I'm leading a team of highly skilled engineers responsible for running the company's cloud infra in both Azure and AWS (though my engineering expertise comes from Azure mostly). We've built the core components of said infra, including
	• Identity management - a mix of Active Directory Domain Services, Azure AD and Okta, governed by proper access management procedures and fine-grained permissions models
	• Software lifecycle\patch management - a process that ensures all new software releases are not only being deployed to PROD in a timely manner but also receive proper testing and validation in lower-tier environments.
	• Business continuity - everything from fault tolerance to disaster recovery. Oh, and we're not only taking backups; we're also testing them by doing regular test restores.
	• IaC\CaC practices - Azure DevOps (for pipelines), Terraform (for IaC) and a wild mix of Chef\PowerShell\DSC keeps our cloud infra agile and controllable.

February 2016 - August 2017: Windows Server Engineer
As part of a well-established and mature team, my main responsibility was keeping the well-oiled machine running smoothly and without interruptions. Still, I've managed to achieve a couple of milestones:
	• Establishing a proper repository for our colourful bunch of PowerShell code, bringing proper software development practices to the process
	• Boosted the team's collaboration with the InfoSec team, shifting the dynamics from antagonistic to more aligned. 
	• Two successful PCI DSS audits

August 2007 - February 2016: Anykey master - Infrastructure Engineer
Deeds of days long forgotten. This was my first position in IT, where I grew from the ranks of low-skill HelpDesk to Senior Infrastructure Engineer.
