Hello! I’m Aleksei, a Senior Platform Engineer based in Berlin. I specialize in building and scaling secure, observable, and efficient infrastructure for financial services.
My work is at the intersection of software engineering and cloud infrastructure, where I focus on improving developer experience, system reliability, and driving AI transformation.
Core Expertise
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficient with Terraform for managing cloud resources (GCP/AWS) and ensuring consistent, repeatable environments.
- Backend Development: Experienced in Go and Ruby, building robust services and event-driven systems.
- Observability: Led migrations to Datadog, implementing APM and ASM to create unified and actionable monitoring.
- Performance Optimization: A track record of tuning database queries and CI/CD pipelines for significant performance gains.
- AI in Production: Currently exploring and implementing AI-driven solutions, such as an AI-based invoice approval orchestrator.
I’m passionate about clear communication, taking ownership, and the iterative process of improving complex systems. This blog is where I’ll be sharing my learnings, projects, and thoughts on platform engineering, cloud technologies, and AI.
