Helping a stealth-mode startup to build the cost-efficient cloud infrastructure including the privately hosted version control, CI/CD, task tracker and test/production environments. It’s a project work that comes to an end.

• Self-hosted K8s with a lot of integrations with AWS infrastructure using Terraform and some ad hoc automation
• Dedicated monitoring with Prometheus-Loki-Grafana stack with a lot of customizations
• Test/production environments in EKS/GKE/k3s-based Kubernetes
• CI/CD using Gitlab and Github features along with the ArgoCD pipelines for the Kubernetes deployments management with the private registry
• Plenty of automation with Github Actions building-testing-deploying containers customized for every environment
• Extensive usage of Ansible for the configuration management and various other tasks

As a leading engineer in a team of two implemented the most up-to-date development and delivery techniques within the company.

• Multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Linode, Hetzner) infrastructure for cost-efficiency and high availability.
• Gitlab CI pipeline for the product delivery including tests, e2e sandboxing, staging etc.
• Migrated everything from bare metal to Docker enhancing stability, security and deployment speed.
• Rich Ansible automation for every repeating tasks.
• Extensive monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki stack focusing on problem prevention.
• Automated security scanning and secrets rotation.
• Multi-layered backup system ensuring zero data loss even in case of catastrophic events.

• Distibuted K8s cluster: With Terraform and Ansible built a multi-cloud, multi-continent cluster with the self-hosted K8s that will survive almost anything.
• Predictive monitoring: Having options to predict problems before they happen is a great way to save time, money and a good night’s sleep.
• VPN Service for the company(2024): Light and fast VPN service securing all remote workers and their devices.
• Online mall: Static site generation pipeline for the marketplace that served millions of users with small compute footprint and lightning-fast speed.
• Full-remote office: Remote workspaces (MS Windows) ages before it became a mainstream (2013), remote telephony (Asterisk). Seamless comms all over the world.
• Project management: Leading the new web-site development as a product owner. Made this web-site a perfect selling tool which helped increase the profit at a great scale.
• BCP/DRP: Full-scale BCP/DRP plan for in-house 300 servers and 2000 workplaces as a part of more complex plan for the whole company.
