Infrastructure Engineer / DevOps Engineer
About Me
I am an experienced DevOps and Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Kubernetes, Linux, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). I prioritize Service Level Objectives (SLO) and service reliability to ensure robust and efficient infrastructure operations. Throughout my career, I have successfully proposed and implemented both technical and organizational solutions that have significantly reduced incident rates and optimized infrastructure budgets.
My expertise includes orchestration and containerization technologies such as Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker, as well as configuration management and IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible. I am proficient in CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab-CI and scripting with Bash and Python. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with monitoring and logging tools including Prometheus, Victoria Metrics, ELK Stack, Fluentd, Wazuh SIEM, and Percona Monitoring and Management.
I have worked extensively with Linux operating systems, bare-metal servers, and cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud Engine. My language skills include native Russian, advanced English, and basic Portuguese, which help me collaborate effectively in diverse teams.
In my recent roles, I have supported large-scale B2B loyalty systems, managed infrastructure maintenance and development, and led initiatives that reduced downtime and incident rates by approximately four times. I have also driven infrastructure growth, implemented security monitoring solutions, and enhanced database monitoring capabilities.
I have experience leading teams and coordinating third-party collaborators under tight deadlines, ensuring timely project delivery and high-quality results. My background includes working with highload IoT projects, managing legacy system refactoring, and participating in on-call rotations and incident response.
I am passionate about continuous improvement and leveraging my skills to build scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure environments that support business goals and customer satisfaction.

Experience
Supporting B2B loyalty systems (Burger King, Sephora, Crocs, Mars, Luxoft etc.). Managed infrastructure maintenance and development in a team of 3 engineers, focusing on bare-metal and Kubernetes environments. Reduced downtime and incident rate by approximately 4x by driving the implementation of incident management processes and database change controls. Supported a 2.5x growth in company infrastructure scale. Implemented Wazuh SIEM and configured alerting for critical security events. Enhanced database monitoring capabilities by deploying Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) and Odarix. Significantly refactored legacy systems: restored unmaintained components to a supportable state and reworked the codebase.
Highload IoT projects for Russian Railways and the agricultural sector. Led infrastructure development (K8s, bare-metal) in a team of 2 engineers. Reorganized infrastructure, achieving over 20% budget savings without degrading SLOs; resolved extensive legacy technical debt and established resource and access management systems. Coordinated a third-party team under tight deadlines (one week before delivery) to organize load testing for a major government project, preparing the final report and ensuring timely project delivery.
K8s-based DevOps outsourcing (Leroy Merlin, 3Commas etc.). Collaborated within a team of 14 DevOps engineers across 20+ projects of varying scale. Worked with major cloud providers: AWS, MS Azure, GCE, Hetzner, ranging from bare-metal to SaaS solutions. Gained extensive experience with Kubernetes, IaC, and Helm. Handled on-call rotations, incident response, and post-mortem analysis.
