Experience
CSSSR
Senior DevOps Engineer Feb 2022 to Present
Tech lead on a 4-person platform team for a cybersecurity product (under NDA)
2023 to Present
- Designed a multi-tenant GitOps platform on FluxCD: 250+ tenants across 15 Kubernetes clusters, enabling developers and AI agents to provision infrastructure through reviewed merge requests.
- Built a Go tool and release workflow that automated 50,000+ releases over 2 years in an air-gapped, multi-tenant environment.
- Built the platform knowledge base and adapted it for AI agents to support deployment, maintenance, and debugging.
- Built automated AI code review that caught 295 valid findings at 94% precision and helped cut p75 merge time from 17.6 to 3.8 hours. Review findings feed back into a shared knowledge base used by both development and review agents.
- Drove AI adoption through workshops and shared recipes, helping the team support 3× as many projects within a year without increasing headcount.
- Built Go tooling and a shared chart library for a Helm monorepo, gating releases with linting, schema validation, and snapshot testing in CI. The same checks run locally during chart development.
Internal infrastructure and client projects (under NDA)
2022 to 2023
- Migrated 30+ production applications and supporting services from DigitalOcean to GCP (test and production Kubernetes clusters), adding private networking, workload identity, Cloud SQL, and network-flow observability.
- Consolidated Kubernetes ingress, certificates, and monitoring under Deckhouse, automating patch updates and introducing approval gates for minor and disruptive releases.
- Brought 300+ infrastructure resources under Terraform with static analysis gates in CI, so changes are reviewed and reproducible.
ITSumma
DevOps Engineer / Lead (2018 to 2021), Full-stack Developer (2017 to 2018)
- Led client infrastructure projects for Fortune 500 pharma companies.
- Co-built a modular Pulumi observability stack (Prometheus Operator, Grafana, Sentry) that's reused across clusters.
- Built a policy-as-code system on Azure using Terraform and Azure Pipelines, which enforced deployment rules consistently across multiple environments.
- Built AWS infrastructure for an ML pipeline that annotates surgical videos (CVAT, Nuclio, TensorFlow).
- Before that, as a full-stack developer, built the email newsletter service end to end for The Bell and a two-way integration between ITSumma's website chat and Telegram for support. Contributed to the company's internal monitoring system.
Rostelecom
Network Engineer 2014 to 2017
