Welcome to Anatoliy Kim's DevOps Portfolio

Building reliable infrastructure and delivery platforms for production systems at scale.

 

I build and operate production infrastructure with a focus on Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, CI/CD, observability, and security.

 

My experience includes operating a 145-node Kubernetes environment serving 2.5M+ active users in a regulated FinTech environment, managing 50+ microservices across 30+ namespaces, and provisioning AWS infrastructure with EKS, EC2, IAM, Route 53, S3, and Terraform.

 

I have also led the migration of 30+ legacy applications from bare-metal and VM infrastructure to Kubernetes, reducing application downtime by 80%, while implementing GitOps delivery with Argo CD and GitLab CI.

Across production environments, I have helped achieve 70% fewer deployment errors and 35% fewer post-deployment rollbacks through standardized CI/CD workflows, automated testing, and deployment controls.

My platform and reliability work includes Prometheus, Grafana, 

VictoriaMetrics, Loki, OpenTelemetry, HashiCorp Vault, Kubernetes RBAC, Linux infrastructure, networking, and incident response.

 

Currently based in Tashkent and relocating to South Korea in November 2026. F-4 visa holder with authorization to work in Korea.

What I Do:

- Kubernetes & Platform Engineering: Operate and scale production Kubernetes environments, manage workloads, RBAC, networking, storage, and cluster capacity across development, staging, and production.

- Infrastructure as Code: Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration with Terraform and Ansible across cloud and on-premises environments.

- CI/CD & GitOps: Build reliable delivery workflows using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Argo CD, with automated testing, environment promotion, and deployment controls.

- Cloud Infrastructure: Provision and operate AWS infrastructure including EKS, EC2, IAM, Route 53, and S3, with a focus on reliable and maintainable cloud platforms.

- Observability & Reliability: Implement metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, Loki, and OpenTelemetry to improve incident detection and troubleshooting.

- Security & Operations: Integrate HashiCorp Vault, Kubernetes RBAC, IAM, network policies, and Linux security controls into production infrastructure and delivery workflows.
