What I'm looking for

I seek a remote-friendly senior DevOps/Platform role where I can lead automation, improve reliability, and build scalable cloud infrastructure with a collaborative team.

I am a DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 12+ years designing and operating scalable, automated platforms across GCP, AWS, and OCI. I engineered a developer-first GCP platform, automated CI/CD with GitLab, Python, and Terraform to cut release cycles from weeks to hours, and helped deliver up to 99.99% uptime in production for finance, cloud, and cybersecurity teams.

I lead migrations and platform automation—moving legacy Jenkins workloads to cloud-native environments, optimizing package repositories, and implementing GitOps practices to improve reliability and onboarding. I also build high-performance services and personal projects (tighov.link), focusing on fast, cost-effective, and secure cloud solutions.
