ABOUT

Today I'm consulting for different companies sizes, from young and small startups to big enterprises.
Most of my consultants are in the field of software architecture and in DevOps methodologies and toolchain, cloud solution for different business needs, costs reductions, Containers (Docker and recently also working with EKS, k8s), performance, CI/CD pipelines, including Jenkins (DSL) and Teamcity.

On the technical experience side, I bring a professional layer of knowledge that I was gathering among the last 12 years of variant software development roles and areas such as development, DevOps, automation Testing, and infrastructure fields.
I'm working with the most popular scripts and languages: bash, batch, PowerShell, python, java, js, and more.

During my career, I was working in companies specifying in different Technologies and different business zones which helped me to learn and to better understand a wide variety of companies' needs such as, multinational data networking and telecommunications equipment, Security companies, Online media, and financial institute product-oriented companies. From each of them, I can bring the most of the experience gained.

I mostly work on the coolest projects, with cutting-edge technologies.
I choose my project very carefully, as I believe that I have to be fully enjoyed in order to be fully professional and committed.
I consult young startups on their overall needs and requirement based on their product design, business, and their people's skills.
I'm good with bootstrapping systems from scratch to 80% in minimum time, with the best practices around there, based on the needs and most important without dropping out quality, and giving the best support and continuous communication after work is done.

I know how to save money for organizations that are using one of the common leading cloud platforms, by automating, choosing the right cloud component, and auto-scaling.

My specialty and uniqueness are to integrate work and joy into any workplace. Every place I go whether it's to a client's offices, a meeting, and even lunch break I make it a bit less serious and a bit more fun.
