About Me

A master in Computer Science with over 4 years of experience in DevOps, Sysadmin and System Engineering.

I'm well-versed with the Linux operating system, but I also have experience with Windows Server systems. I've used version control tools like Git and Mercurial. I also have experience in implementing on-prem and cloud solutions using tools such as Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Puppet, Ansible, Jenkins/Bamboo, Proxmox/vCenter and tools for observability - Elasticsearch+Kibana, Prometheus+VictoriaMetrics+Grafana stack, AppDynamics...

I program in various programming languages, but I mostly use Python, since I'm the most experienced and knowledgeable in it. I have also used Bash, Ruby and PowerShell scripting languages.

I'm a passionate advocate of Open Source technologies.
