Who am I
I'm not just a system administrator or a DevOps engineer. I'm an engineer who keeps production systems alive when everything around them starts falling apart.
I've been working with Linux since 2002. I've rebuilt production environments from the ashes, automated operational chaos across dozens of servers, and introduced CI/CD practices before they became mainstream.
I don't just write Ansible playbooks. I think about reliability, security, scalability, failure scenarios and recovery.
People call me when obvious solutions stop working.
Engineering philosophy
No magic. Just engineering.
- If something needs to be repeated — automate it.
- If something can fail — anticipate it.
- If something is undocumented — document it.
- If something is dangerous — prepare rollback first.
I don't fear legacy systems. I've been around long enough to become part of them.
Selected experience
Payment Processing Infrastructure
Production database infrastructure for fintech systems. Experience with critical workloads, transactions, high availability and PCI DSS requirements.
Enterprise CI/CD Recovery
Inherited a broken deployment process where releases were blocked for months. Redesigned build and deployment workflows, restored predictable delivery and automation.
Legacy Infrastructure Modernization
Migrated and automated systems built over years: Linux servers, databases, networks, virtualization and deployment pipelines.
Technical Skills
Why me?
- 20+ years of hands-on production experience
- Fintech background (PCI DSS, transactions, databases)
- Large-scale migrations with minimal downtime
- Cloud and infrastructure automation
- Calm communication during incidents
