Tech Lead SRE · AWS Community Builder · Kubestronaut · DevOps01 Founder

I help engineers grow into senior roles and build systems that don't break at 3am.
About
Who I Am
I started my career as a junior sysadmin over a decade ago and grew into an SRE — the person responsible for keeping systems reliable when everything tries to break. Today I'm tech lead of an SRE team at TEMABIT, an AWS Community Builder (2026), and a Kubestronaut — one of the engineers who has passed all five CNCF Kubernetes certifications.
Teaching came first. From 2021 to 2022 I taught DevOps part-time at Hillel IT School — Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes — and kept running into the same problem: the people who most wanted to learn this were the least able to pay for it, and almost none of the good material existed in Ukrainian.
So in 2023 I founded DevOps01 — a non-commercial DevOps community built around that gap. Workshops on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and GitLab, exam prep for Terraform Associate and CKA, and the DevOps01 Live podcast, all in Ukrainian. Course proceeds go directly to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces 🇺🇦.
I believe the best engineers are the ones who share what they know. I speak at conferences like fwdays, and offer one-on-one career sessions for engineers who want to level up without wandering in circles.
