Professional background

I have gone from assembling and repairing computers to designing cloud infrastructure. 25 years in IT β€” from hardware to cloud, from DOS to Kubernetes.

I started with ZX Spectrum and Assembler, then Windows 95 and PC assembly. In the early 2000s I moved into Windows and Linux system administration. Since the 2010s I have focused on cloud migration, automation, and DevOps practices. Today I specialize in Kubernetes, CI/CD, and migration to any cloud providers.

Unique advantage: end-to-end infrastructure understanding β€” from BIOS to Kubernetes. I use AI tools daily to solve tasks and quickly master new technologies.

Work philosophy

Principles

  1. Automation first - manual operations should be the exception
  2. Infrastructure as Code - everything in Git, versioned and reproducible
  3. Fast and reliable - rapid delivery without sacrificing stability
  4. AI as a tool - agent-assisted workflows for new tasks
  5. Business-oriented mindset - technology serves business outcomes

Approach

  • Transparency: realistic timelines and estimates
  • Documentation: every decision is documented
  • Enablement: knowledge transfer to the team
  • Proactiveness: issues are prevented before they escalate
