### About me

I'm a DevOps engineer with 5++ years of hands-on experience with a decent amount of tools. One of the most important tools that I love and want to continue working with, is Kubernetes. At least, until I see a better alternative. I think that containers themselves are one of greatest inventions in development, and I'm trying to use them as long as it's possible. Also, I believe that every routine must be automated, because routing is a boring job that lets people lose focus and make mistakes. 

I think that there are several things that a DevOps engineer must be able to do: 
- To build reliable and stable infrastructure
- Keep this infrastructure up-to-date
- Keep all the source and instructions of this infrastructure clean and simple
- Avoid a human factor as long as possible 
- And when it's not possible to avoid it, not to be afraid to take responsibility

Also, I think it's important that before implementing anything, an engineer has understood all the requirements and checked tools that can fulfil them. I often see, how people try to use a tool for its name but not for its functionality, and hence they have to do a lot of additional work and deal with compromises. And if nothing really can fulfil those requirements, you need not be afraid of writing something new *and open-source it*.
