About me

DevOps engineer — I build ML platform infrastructure following best practices.

I make a second home for data scientists: JupyterHub, Spark, Airflow, LLM services.

I love Linux, idempotent configuration and a healthy engineering culture: knowledge sharing, code reviews, workshops that are actually worth attending.

Experience

Oct 2025 — present

DevOps Engineer · Ecom.tech (Samokat)

Internal ML platform serving hundreds of active users — data scientists and ML engineers.

  • Solely operate and evolve 6 instances of JupyterHub — a service with hundreds of active users.
  • Built a custom JupyterHub–Spark integration for interactive work with the cluster — sped up the model training cycle in production.
  • Built platform monitoring from scratch: service error metrics, GPU, CPU, memory and disk utilization down to nodes, pods, roles and users; a dozen dashboards in Grafana and alerts to the corporate channel — monitoring as a service.
  • Diagnosed and fixed hangs in Airflow DAGs training models on order data — restored the stability of promo and product analytics pipelines.
  • Introduced linting across all Airflow repositories — cut DAG errors and leveled up code quality across teams on more than 10,000 DAGs.
  • Implemented SSO: Keycloak integration with JupyterHub.
  • Deploy and operate LLM services for internal teams: Triton, plus Langfuse for tracing.
  • Developed a set of CLI utilities that make platform users' day-to-day work in production easier.
  • On-call in the incident rotation: every incident during my shifts was driven to resolution.

DevOps Engineer · RSHB-Intech (Rosselkhozbank)

Infrastructure of the RAISA ML platform: CI/CD, Kubernetes, monitoring, services for data science teams.

  • Built CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI — from image builds to automated deploys to Kubernetes; release time went from 3 days down to 1 hour.
  • Customized and deployed MLflow: OAuth2, PostgreSQL, artifacts in S3 (MinIO), load balancing via ingress-nginx — plus a pipeline that deploys the whole stack automatically.
  • Deployed the monitoring and logging stack: Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenSearch, Fluent Bit.
  • Migrated JupyterHub user environments from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes — about 1,000 users, with zero data loss.
  • Automated uploading large LLM models to Nexus Sonatype.
  • Configured HAProxy and Nginx: domain-name routing and load balancing.

DevOps Engineer · Clean Data

Rolling out and supporting the company's product on customer infrastructure.

  • Deployed, configured and supported the company's software on customer premises.
  • Developed CI/CD for product modules (TeamCity, GitLab).
  • Ran data migrations and initial data loads, configured deduplication and normalization.
  • Troubleshot Java applications across dev/test/prod environments.
  • Wrote a complete set of product administration guides.
