About me

I'm a DevOps engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience with a decent amount of tools. My main focus is Kubernetes and CI/CD, but it absolutely doesn't mean that I would like to avoid tasks in other areas.

A couple of bigger tasks I've been working on:

  • A migration of several MySQL Percona clusters to Kubernetes using the Percona Operator
  • An implementation of a downtime-free blue-green deployment for RabbitMQ
  • A dynamic "preview" environments deployment using ArgoCD
  • A data streaming automation from ~800 Postgres databases with structural changes via Kafka deployed to Kubernetes
  • An introduction of versioned Gitlab-CI templates for replacing per-repo company-wide
  • Implementation of an operator for managing kafka users in gcp managed kafka
  • Implementation of a Kubernetes backend for Selenoid for running e2e tests in k8s environments

Also, I'm a maintainer of a kubernetes operator that should help users manage databases via CRDs: https://github.com/db-operator/db-operator
