25+ years of experience: from hardware to cloud β†’ DevOps Engineer and CloudAdmin

DevOps Engineer with 25 years of experience: from hardware to cloud

Automate infrastructure | Build CI/CD pipelines

Migrate to any cloud providers | Deploy VPN solutions

Implement monitoring | Optimize costs by up to 40%

I design cloud architectures, moving from a background in PC building. Focused on DevOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud migration. Using AI tools to solve complex problems and quickly adopt new technologies.

Retainer: from $50/month
Location: Digital Nomad
Status: Available for new projects

☁️ Cloud & Platform Engineering

  • Cloud migration to AWS, GCP, Azure, Yandex Cloud, and Selectel
  • Kubernetes platform engineering for production workloads
  • Self-hosted infrastructure for teams that need more control and lower SaaS dependency
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible
  • CI/CD, observability, and reliability as a single delivery stack

Relevant for 2026: cloud migrations, platform standardization, cost optimization, GitOps, and production reliability

⚑ Fast Delivery with Proven Patterns

  • VPN / secure access setup: typically within hours using Ansible and Docker Compose
  • Self-hosted collaboration stack: rapid deployment on clean Linux servers
  • Production-ready infrastructure: from a few hours depending on scope
  • Kubernetes clusters: usually delivered within days, including GitOps baseline
  • CI/CD pipelines: end-to-end automation in a few days

Approach: reusable Ansible roles, Docker Compose, Terraform modules, and battle-tested deployment patterns

πŸ€– Automation-First Delivery

  • AI-assisted engineering to speed up research, prototyping, and implementation
  • Faster adoption of new tools and platforms
  • Generation of code, Helm charts, and Terraform modules
  • Automation-first mindset for repetitive infrastructure tasks
  • Human-reviewed production delivery with focus on reliability and maintainability

Result: faster turnaround, better documentation, and shorter time-to-solution

πŸ”§ 25 Years from Hardware to Cloud

  • From PC assembly and troubleshooting to Cloud Architecture
  • From low-level systems thinking to Kubernetes, GitOps, and modern DevOps
  • Deep understanding of infrastructure across all layers
  • Combined Windows and Linux operational experience
  • Strong communication with both technical teams and business stakeholders

Unique value: I spot infrastructure risks and bottlenecks that others often miss
