After 25 years of study and practical experience in the IT field I have now become an IT infrastructure, application, platform, middleware and DevOps specialist with extensive experience in designing, implementing, testing, enhancing, and maintaining complex infrastructures and their associated applications and tools. My broad and in depth knowledge of Unix/Linux infrastructures, combined with expertise in new IT technologies, makes me an experienced IT Architect and DevOps engineer with afondness for complex infrastructures and High Availability systems. I have been involved for years in migrations of legacy systems and software to modern IT solutions.

I have a lot experience with creating and implem enting High Level and Low Level Designs and solutions for Linux related topics conform TOGAF method . This includes Life Cycle Management of all Linux applications and systems , build ing CI/CD automation with Ansible , GitLab, Jenkins , Bash, renewal of storage s and Backup solutions, as well as the migration from legacy hard/ and s oftware to modern IT platforms I created blueprints of the entire infrastructure s , mapped out all layers (application, middleware, hardware/ESX/OVM/bare metal, Back End connections in order to conduct thorough risk analysis and perform migration to new hardware . The challen g ing projects are transitio ns to the cloud and finding aformance root cause analysis in various complex production environments My approach is simple I refuse to compromise on quality. I achieve this by investing in continuous improvement of my knowledge and by making clear agreements with my work relationships. I am not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and apply new technology. While I am proficient in legacy and traditional methods, having worked for years in monolithic and waterfall management, in this dynamic IT world, that is not sufficient. Therefore, I am constantly seeking out the latest technologies and looking for the best ways to apply new methods and techniques, including Agile/DevOps, Virtualization, Containers, Big Data, Cloud, and Open Source.
