Topnotch IT professional with HUGE experience in different IT areas:
- Software development: More than two decades of experience, many large-scale projects, in Golang, C#/.NET, C/C++, Python, MATLAB, JavaScript, etc.
- Specialized in performance-must industries where microseconds count, especially trading. I was working for two of the biggest trading companies in the world: "QuantRes" from Bahamas and "Jump Trading".
- Blockchain and crypto: Huge experience in crypto-trading software and blockchain intergration.
- DevOps: Planning and deploying efficient development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
- Containerization: HUGE experience with Docker and Kubernetes, both AWS managed EKS and on-premise vanilla Kubernetes.
- Public cloud: AWS certificated, planning, implementing and managing cost-effective cloud deployments, tailored for specific client's needs.
- Private cloud: Ten years of experience in planning, deploying and maintaining virtual infrastructures based on VMware and Hyper-V.
- Hybrid cloud: Maintaining complex private+public cloud infrastructures.
- System administration: Combined Linux/Windows environments, networking, monitoring, centralized configuration management, etc.
Unique combination of experience and knowledge in many different IT areas makes me an ULTIMATE IT PROBLEM SOLVER. I can solve a problem no matter if it's caused by software bug, networking, DB load, firewalls, or simply bad karma.

DevOps Skills
Besides DevOps skills mentioned above in AWS section, I also need to mention:
- GitHub, Bitbucket;
- Other Atlassian products (JIRA, Confluence, FishEye, Bitbucket, etc.);
- Code quality tools like SonarQube;
- Automated build tools like AppVeyor, Jenkins;
- And much more.
Software Development Skills
- Strong software architecture skills. Planned many large-scale projects from scratch (selecting the appropriate architecture, databases, technology, patterns and practices, integrating third-party packages, etc.).
- Programming languages: Golang (5 years of experience), C#/.NET (20 years of experience), MCAD in .NET from 2004; C/C++ on different platforms (Windows, Linux, OS X), with different compilers (Visual C++, GCC, Intel, Clang), Qt framework, C++/WinRT, for UWP; Other languages: Python, MATLAB, JavaScript, etc. I can quickly adopt any other language if needed.
- Databases: MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL in RDBMS world; Cassandra, ScyllaDB, Elasticsearch and AWS DynamoDB in NoSQL world, KairosDB, OpenTSDB, InfluxDB in time-series DB systems. I can quickly adopt any other database. I'm able to suggest, plan, deploy and utilize the most appropriate DB system based on the client's needs.
- Experience in architecting and developing large-scale distributed systems that are running on multiple servers, exchanging hundreds of thousands of messages per second, with real-time processing, with huge ingestion rates (dozens of thousands of data points per second).
- Developing for micro-service architecture, Docker and Kubernetes. Also for modern "serverless" environments in the cloud.
- Performance-first development for trading and system applications.
Solution Architecture Skills
Huge experience in software architecture, combined with huge infrastructure engineering experience (public, private, hybrid clouds), makes e a perfect Solution Architect.
SysOps Skills
- On-Premise virtualization based on VMware and Hyper-V;
- System administration in combined (Win/Lin) environments;
- Networking (private networks, DMZ, firewalls, routers, VPN connections with remote offices, VLANs, subnets, etc.).
- Advanced monitoring with Zabbix and similar tools;
- Centralized configuration management with Puppet or Ansible.
Blockchain-specific development skills
