I've been working as a software engineer for over 8 years now and really enjoy my work. 

I started my career back in 2012 as a freelancer, developing websites on PHP.  2 years later I joined EPAM IT Lab and successfully accomplished Java internship. I started working as a Test Automation Engineer and over the new 4 years was involved in 3 projects.

In 2017, I was hired as a Test Automation Engineer at Intellias, but from the first days on the project, it became clear that the customer needed more a DevOps engineer, so I took the challenge. Since then I have been working as DevOps, SRE engineer in particular. My main responsibilities include support of ElasticSearch 24/7, develop and support backing services on Kubernetes and HELM. For monitoring I use NewRelic, Prometheus and ElasticSearch, for visualizing - Grafana, for alerting - PagerDuty. Currently I'm working on a large streaming music service with more that 1M active users. My role is to extend and improve existing infrastructure, optimise cost and processes. I took part in a large migration from TeamCity to CircleCI,  was leading FaaS project implementation,  improved Terraform practices, monitoring tools and supported multiple Kubernetes clusters.

I am a quick learner and problem solver, who is comfortable working both alone and in a big team. Since all my curent teammates are in the US, California, I got experience of working independently, dealing with existing infrastructure without external help.  Now I am ready for a new challenge.
