@davidbalayants
I build reliable cloud platforms, observability dashboards, and automated Kubernetes delivery pipelines.
ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
At Ameriabank, I define SLIs and SLOs for 10+ platform, internal, and product services, turning operational metrics into KPI reporting for team leads and C-level management.
I built and maintain an availability dashboard that aggregates Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Observium, and Zabbix. I moved it to Kubernetes with automated Azure DevOps and Argo CD deployments and KEDA scaling.
I also lead DevOps practice sessions at Picsart, mentoring interns in Linux, C, networking, containers, CI/CD, and cloud services. My projects combine AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, and TypeScript to deliver secure, observable platforms.
