I'm a Senior Platform Engineer with 17+ years in software engineering, including eight years at Yandex and Yandex Cloud. My background spans application development and production infrastructure, with a focus on deployment automation, reliability, and making services easier to operate.
Some of my work:
Led the migration of Cloud Console and UI services from VM-based deployments to Kubernetes.
Built and launched UI infrastructure for two new cloud regions.
Reduced the Yandex News production VM fleet from 2,500 to 1,000 through application architecture, performance, and infrastructure improvements.
Reduced container image size by approximately 70% by adopting Distroless images.
I've coordinated infrastructure work across up to 14 engineers while staying hands-on with architecture, delivery, and production operations. I'm CKA-certified and have experience with on-call rotations, incident response, and root-cause analysis.
I'm looking for a Senior Platform / Infrastructure Engineer role where I can combine software engineering with ownership of production systems. Open to remote opportunities and relocation.

Senior Platform Engineer / Technical Lead with 5+ years in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, and 17+ years overall in software engineering.
My strongest areas are Kubernetes-based infrastructure, Terraform/IaC, CI/CD, observability, production reliability, and platform security. Recently led a migration of multiple services from VM-based infrastructure to Kubernetes, built a Fluent Bit logging pipeline processing around 12 MB/s, and drove Distroless image adoption, reducing image size by about 70% and significantly lowering critical CVEs.
Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA). Looking for Senior/Staff Platform Engineer, SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure roles where I can work on reliable infrastructure, internal developer platforms, automation, and observability.
