What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my skills in software development, DevOps, and SRE to drive innovation and growth.

As a seasoned software engineer with 5 years of experience in B2C and B2B software development, I have honed my skills in architecting, developing, and migrating complex systems to microservices and containerized environments. My expertise lies in improving application stability, performance, and code maintainability. With a strong background in startups, I have successfully separated recommendations and user profile contexts from monolith to microservices, created general user profiles, and migrated core monolith apps to k8s.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various technologies, including Python, Golang, Docker, k8s, and Yandex Cloud. I have a proven track record of developing internal service-libraries, migrating image services, and building infrastructure from the ground up. I am well-versed in DevOps and SRE skills, with experience in Sentry, Kibana, and Grafana.

I am a strong believer in the importance of collaboration and have worked with cross-functional teams to achieve common goals. I am proficient in Agile methodologies and have experience with Confluence, JIRA, GitHub, and GitLab.
