My role demands entrepreneurial skills, strategic vision, deep technical expertise across strategic, tactical, and operational levels, and adaptability. Excelling in this capacity, I have been a key driver behind Solvinity Public Cloud Services' significant growth—averaging over 40% annual growth during the past five years. Combining technical expertise, strong communication skills, and entrepreneurial acumen, I effectively build and expand our business. My expertise spans multiple IT domains, including cloud strategy and deep technical knowledge of private and public cloud environments. I am proficient in Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, DevOps methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, Azure, cloud security, application migration and modernization, and the migration and configuration of complex, large-scale governmental infrastructures (200,000+ users). My experience also includes data centers, hypervisor platforms, large-scale data storage solutions, SQL database administration, advanced firewall configurations, and more. Over the past years, I have led cloud migrations to private cloud and Azure environments for dozens of medium- and large-sized companies, serving as a Cloud Engineer, Teamlead Public, Architect, and later Lead Architect.
