Zakharov Maxim

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 6+ years designing and operating production-grade Kubernetes platforms across fintech, healthcare, and ISP domains. I specialize in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, GitOps, and container orchestration at scale.

In my current role, I scaled 15+ Kubernetes clusters and 200+ Linux VMs while enforcing SLO/SLA targets of 99% uptime. I consolidated Terraform into a Terragrunt monorepo, implemented an ArgoCD GitOps pipeline for fast rollbacks, and strengthened security with HashiCorp Vault ephemeral secrets and Keycloak OIDC SSO.

I built observability with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki and improved incident detection-to-resolution by 21%. I also delivered an end-to-end ML platform using Airflow + MLflow, and shipped a RAG-based LLM assistant (vLLM + OpenWebUI + Qdrant) that reduced manual queries/day by ~200 and cut analyst workload by 30%.

I’ve led cross-functional execution as a tech lead—defining architecture standards and onboarding engineers through structured code reviews. Earlier, I engineered CI/CD for 40+ microservices, automated PostgreSQL HA with Patroni, and launched monitoring that reduced MTTR by 40%, sharpening my focus on reliability and operational excellence.
