Position: Cloud Architect
Category: Lead
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 11

1. I designed and implemented architecture of hybrid cloud solution based on CoreOS, Kubernetes and KVM that supports running container and VM workloads with Kubernetes as an orchestrator. I also designed and prototyped custom SDN solution, including controller, CNI driver and OpenvSwitch ORM, for hybrid cloud with ability to assign VLANs, QoS, ACLs, static and DHCP IP addresses directly to Kubernetes pods. Moreover, I designed and implemented GCP VPC style flat overlay network for hybrid cloud. I streamlined the cluster installation by creating the ability to run the offline installation from ISO and facilitated the container-only approach. Furthermore, I increased network throughput 3x fold by integrating DPDK with OpenvSwitch.
 	
2. I designed, developed, and obtained buy-in from the stakeholders on the zero-downtime deployment architecture as well as tooling needed to be used. Moreover, I participated in creating IaC using Ansible. I was also the main driver behind creating complex multi-step CI/CD solution with visualization that could be used by both developers and customer’s upper management.

3. I created scalable CI/CD pipelines with immutable agents on internal infrastructure, stored every piece of infrastructure as code and designed the solution to be cost efficient and easy to use. Furthermore, I provided clearer future vision for the customer.

4. I designed and implemented IaC, designed the deployment and upgrade process and created a serverless functions solution as a part of a company-wide hackathon.

5. I designed and developed solution for providing additional services over VPN that included ad-blocking, parental control, on-the-fly image compression and anti-virus checks. I also increased possible numbers of users per VPN server tenfold by introducing AAA caching. I re-wrote parts of API from Perl to PHP during a migration and created new API for authentication purposes.
