Max Popovschii

I’m a Computer Engineering student and software developer who blends DevOps, server infrastructure, and cybersecurity into practical, shipping-focused work. I enjoy building reliable systems, collaborating with product and design, and turning automation into faster, safer releases.

At Yakkyo in Milan, I’ve been working on DevOps and security for production services—shipped 10+ full-stack features with Vue.js and TypeScript, and collaborated with product and design stakeholders. I maintain MongoDB/RabbitMQ backend services across microservices, containerized via Docker for reproducible deployments.

I also handle security at the product surface: I managed 3 WordPress production sites, and security audits reduced vulnerability exposure across company web properties. My DevOps work is reinforced through CI/CD and infrastructure automation—building GitLab CI pipelines that cut average release cycle time by ~35% and orchestrating Kubernetes workloads with Argo CD (GitOps) for zero-downtime rollouts.

Earlier roles and projects strengthened my systems fundamentals and delivery ownership—from administering Linux/Windows workstations as a Junior System Administrator to developing PHP/MySQL backend services as a Junior Backend Developer. I hold CompTIA Security+ (and am planning CCNA), and I’m always aiming to ship secure, well-instrumented solutions.
