Summary

I have Linux on all my home and job devices. When the chef gave me a MacBook I asked him can I install Linux on it. He said "No" and gave me HP. I'm not a Linux-maniac. But for me, it's the most comfortable OS.

Love everything about DevOps, automatization and stability. I have a passion for everything I do. Have sufficient experience in Docker and good expertise in Kubernetes, Helm and Terraform. I can (and do) wrap everything in a container. Even if it's a GUI application. (Sometimes it's easier to use Docker than resolve dependencies issues)

I love to create a local development process for Backend developers (as a Backend developer in the past) as comfortable as possible from the very start. And this is my strong side: I can debug applications, find issues and create Pull Requests with changes right in application code.

I have experience in Scrum and Kanban methodologies. Can track time and move cards in the right columns. Sometimes I can annoy a little when trying to clarify every little thing related to my task or current workflow.

Have good relations with employees. I really like peaceful holywars with colleagues, discussing some technical stuff and approaches. Love to work in a team and share my knowledge with others and gain wisdom from more experienced people.

I have no bad habits (except programming in free time). I don't smoke and don't have morning headaches after drinking (because I don't drink to drunk)

Languages

  • Russian Native
  • English Conversational (B1; Thanks YouTube)

Personal Life a little about

Some of my current hobbies:

  • Music. Guitar and Piano playing. Singing sometimes. And (of course) listening. Graduated from music school class classical guitar;
  • Blogging about everything. Not only about work;
  • Programming. Yes, even after work. Currently, actively use Go and JavaScript to automate some things. Currently, fell in love with Rust :crab:

I'm a happy husband of my beloved wife for 7.6 years. She really helps me in my path of life emotionally and physically as a family hearth keeper.

We love animals. We have the black panthera-like cat Json (this word always sounds like a name for me) and little sweetie girl Pixel (Pixie for short). Also, we love foxes so much. That's why my logo and background with fox face :fox:
