Hey there! I’m Aleksei, a Senior Software & DevOps Engineer with 10+ years of experience blending full-stack development, cloud infrastructure design, and automation. Currently based in Thessaloniki, Greece, I focus on building resilient, cost-efficient, and scalable systems in the cloud — especially on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

In recent years, I’ve shifted from full-stack development toward DevOps, cloud architecture, and platform engineering, with a strong emphasis on automation, IaC, and observability. I work hands-on with tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD, and design production-grade infrastructure.

When I’m not working on infrastructure, I write backend services in Go, contribute to full-stack projects with React & Next.js, and explore new technologies like Rust and machine learning.

• 🚀 DevOps & Cloud-Native Engineering
  Built scalable multi-region infrastructure on GCP, automated deployments via GitLab CI, and integrated observability tooling with Prometheus, Grafana, and Stackdriver. Reduced costs by 30% and improved uptime to 99.999%.

• ⚙️ Automation-First Mindset
  Used Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps practices to fully automate deployments and configuration. Enabled auto-scaling, self-healing Kubernetes clusters, and disaster recovery (Warm Standby, Pilot Light).

• 🛠️ Backend & Full Stack Dev
  Strong background in Python, Go, Node.js, and TypeScript. Built microservices and APIs, and delivered web apps using React and Next.js with a focus on performance and UX.

• ☁️ Cloud Expertise
  Deep experience in Google Cloud Platform, with hands-on knowledge of AWS and Azure. Skilled in IAM, networking, storage, monitoring, and cost optimization.

• 🧠 Tech Explorer
  Constantly learning — exploring Rust, Swift, and LLM tools on Hugging Face. I love diving into new tech and sharing insights via articles and side projects.
