@vadimkubasov
Senior DevOps engineer specializing in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps engineer with over five years of hands-on experience designing, building, and operating cloud-native infrastructure. I focus on AWS, EKS, Terraform, and CI/CD to deliver reliable, automated platforms that scale with business needs.
At my current role I manage and improve EKS environments, migrate CI/CD to GitHub Actions, and implement autoscaling with KEDA to optimize workload handling. I have built monitoring and logging solutions using Datadog and Splunk to enhance visibility and incident response.
I have a strong track record of applying Infrastructure as Code principles through Terraform and Terraform Cloud, creating reusable modules and consistent provisioning across environments. I also drive cloud cost optimization, automated cleanup routines, and security improvements via IAM policies and Pod Security Standards.
I enjoy mentoring engineers to adopt DevOps best practices and collaborating with platform, development, QA, and finance teams to streamline releases, improve reliability, and reduce operational costs.
