- I have been passionate about IT for over 10 years now. My greatest strength is my extensive experience in problem solving. In previous projects, I held various positions, from Deployment Engineer to Team Lead, where I managed a team of 2 engineers. One of the projects I worked on was a video monitoring service with numerous cameras installed around the city, presenting many challenges to solve. Another project involved an IoT platform designed to allow customers to integrate different types of devices and equipment into a unified user interface. This project required multiple on-premise deployments, both in VMs and with cloud providers. For both projects, I developed and maintained a unified platform for developers, QA, and support teams, aimed at ensuring maximum transparency. I enjoy debugging and figuring out complex algorithms and systems. However, I prefer not to develop overly complex algorithms and aim to keep solutions as simple as possible.

Geodistributed application deployment to a fleet of GKE clusters. Geosharded MongoDB was set up. The application is deployed using ArgoCD with fancy application sets configuration to minimize support burdain. API is exposed using krakend and JWK authorisation. GCP Helm Crossplane Kubernetes Mongodb
-
Legacy Java application migration over to Kubernetes and GitOPS. Application consists of frontend, workers, services, cronjobs and jobs. Github action to version and deploy frontend as a single page application to storage bucket was created. Workers autoscaled using Rabbit MQ queue metrics.

Universal deployment platrom has been developed from ground up. The system is equally being used as source of devs and test environments and on customers' sites for production use. It abstracted away underlying infrastructure and deployment process of different types services (docker, Windows Services, systemd units) and provided devs, qa and business teams a simple UI to deploy and test their services not carrying about where and how ones are being deployed.

Version and release control system. It utilizes automatic tagging using semantic versioning based on conventional commits, automated changelogs gathering and notifications when a new app version is available. It provided a transparent way how environmets are being updated and managed. It removed burden from devs to carry about dedicated git branches to keep envs updated.

Migration to selfhosted Kubernetes Cluster using GitOps methodology. In order to utilize Kubernetes benefits in our closed infrastructure I deployed Talos-based Kubernetes cluster on top of VMWare and wrote an LDAP integration service for seemless authorization for our teams.

For implementing public available multitenancy installation of our product I designed and created an YandexCloud based infrastrucure utilizing managed solutions where possible for cost optimizations. The main challenge was to support several VPN tunnels and network configurations in order for clients to gain access from the cloud to their infrastructure. YandexCloud Terraform Packer Networking S3
