What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote DevOps Engineer role where I can own Kubernetes CI/CD and GitOps, implement secure Vault-based secrets, strengthen monitoring/logging, and build dependable AI/LLM infrastructure with fast, rollback-safe releases.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 9+ years of experience delivering cloud infrastructure and reliable deployment pipelines. I focus on Kubernetes-based platforms, GitOps automation, and secure operations, with continuous improvements to reduce rollback time and operational risk.

In my recent roles, I’ve deployed and maintained Deckhouse with cluster support and GitOps, built dynamic environments with CI/CD-driven cleanup, and implemented secure secret management via Vault/Lockbox integrated into pipelines. I also stood up monitoring and logging (Sentry, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs, Grafana, ELK/Kibana) and handled core infrastructure from scratch on Yandex Cloud (managed K8s, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis/ValKey, S3).

My work often extends to AI/LLM infrastructure—LLM model deployment, Whisper/Vosk-based TTS analysis, and RAG platforms—so teams can ship applied AI services safely and repeatably. A standout achievement for me was a seamless migration from Prometheus to VictoriaMetrics, along with CI/CD and configuration delivery using werf, Terraform, Ansible, and Helm.
