About me
An engineer who owns the outcome
Experienced DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with hands-on Team Lead experience managing infrastructure and service-support teams. Originally from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Open to relocation and business trips.
Throughout my career I've built, optimized, and maintained high-load distributed systems, and led teams of system/network administrators, DevOps and SRE engineers. I know how to plan IT budgets, set up service support and development processes, hire and grow IT specialists, and successfully run projects from idea to delivery.
My strengths are analytical thinking, attention to detail, a results-driven mindset, and teamwork. I value continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and building a positive professional environment.
