Summary

As an IT professional with over 14 years of experience and 5+ years in DevOps, I have successfully covered multiple R&D teams, leading the development process from start to finish for a variety of complex projects. With my expertise as DevOps in .NET, Java, NodeJS, and PHP, I have configured, deploy and troubleshoot applications based on VMs, AWS instances, and in the k8s cluster. Skills in managing Dev/QA/PreProd/Prod CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins, Teamcity, GitlabCI and AWS CodePipeline, along with my proficiency in AWS services, have enabled me to implement and optimize effective workflows. Strong soft skills, including excellent communication and collaboration skills, high attention to detail, and strong leadership abilities, have enabled me to work efficiently as a member of cross-functional multicultural teams, while also leading and managing a team of up to 4.
