Meet Vlad ✨

A Senior DevOps Engineer with five years of commercial cloud infrastructure experience built on top of eleven years as a System Administrator managing secure government networks. Vlad doesn’t just deploy containers. He understands infrastructure from the metal up, which means he builds systems that are automated, resilient, and production-ready from day one.

He has designed and managed cloud-native environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, migrating legacy EC2 platforms to Kubernetes clusters, implementing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible, and building fully automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and AWS CodePipeline. His projects span AI SaaS platforms, NLP-powered automation tools, and high-security government systems.

What makes Vlad different from most DevOps engineers is his depth. Over a decade of hands-on system administration means he intuitively understands networking, security, monitoring, and troubleshooting at a level that newer engineers simply haven’t developed yet. He combines that operational instinct with modern cloud architecture to deliver infrastructure that scales without surprises.

If your product needs someone who can own your entire cloud stack, automate everything that should be automated, and keep production environments stable under real load, Vlad is the kind of engineer who quietly makes the whole platform run 🚀

Ansible Playbook for Automated Ubuntu Server Setup (Docker, Security, User Config)

October 2025

5

"Vlad did a great job building out our Ansible playbook for automated Ubuntu server provisioning, covering Docker setup, security hardening, and user configuration. Not only that, he also helped stabilize multiple servers, worked autonomously and proactively and made sure everything was well documented. He's thorough, communicates well, and delivers reliable, production-ready work. We've worked with him on multiple occasions and will continue to do so. Highly recommended."

Dev Ops to Optimize Server

"Vlad was able to setup and optimize our servers within a few days with little instructions since I'm not a developer. Once done, he walks us through the settings as well as I gave us instructions on how add more nodes ourselves if needed. Strongly recommend Vlad to anyone needing someone to optimize their servers."
