About
Monitoring, DevOps, and SRE engineer with nearly six years of hands-on experience implementing and evolving observability systems for enterprise and product environments.
Main focus — designing fault-tolerant monitoring platforms from scratch for heterogeneous Linux (and Windows) estates: VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Zabbix, ELK, vmalert, Alertmanager.
Comfortable with the full DevOps loop — Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, GitLab CI, Argo CD, Ansible — and with Python exporters that glue infrastructure, Jira, GitLab, and SIEM into one picture.
