{ Ivan Nikolaev }

DevOps engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure. I build production platforms end-to-end: from Terraform modules and Kubernetes clusters to GitOps pipelines and secrets management. Worked across AWS and OCI at scale — from streaming platforms serving millions to logistics systems spanning continents.

I lean toward GitOps-first, security-conscious approaches: infrastructure defined in code, secrets in vaults, deployments reconciled by ArgoCD, and CI/CD that enforces quality gates before anything hits production.
