I build small systems, boring infrastructure and teams that can operate both. "All ingenious is simple" - production is where you find out if that's true.

hired, mentored and handed over Stack: Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana Verve Group - Senior DevOps Engineer MAR 2022 - FEB 2024 | New York, NY, USA Owned GCP infrastructure as code and led the migration from the legacy estate to the new platform - while both were still running. - Built cloud-native GCP infrastructure in Terraform, reviewable and reproducible - Maintained the legacy estate while completing the migration, which is the professional way of saying "two jobs" - Built automated development environments that followed the best practices we kept telling everyone about - Adopted and hosted new in-house and outsourced projects without inheriting their surprises Stack: Google Cloud (GCP), Terraform, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana, NGINX DataArt - DevOps Engineer NOV 2020 - DEC 2022 | Yerevan, Armenia Operational support and automation across client platforms, with security and observability as the recurring themes. - Provided ongoing operational support with a bias toward automation and security improvements - Designed self-service tools and automation workflows so teams could stop filing tickets for the obvious - Worked with DevOps teams and stakeholders to improve CI/CD pipelines and processes - Improved monitoring, alerting and performance tuning until the noise-to-signal ratio was tolerable - Supported Kubernetes environments and the container workflows around them Stack: Kubernetes, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch Toptal - DevOps and Platform Developer Resident since 2019 | Remote Consulting engagements across industries, usually to stabilise, optimise or unblock platform work that has stopped moving. - Consultancy and expert services for global clients across healthcare, education, R&D, media and e-commerce - Short interventions and long collaborations, depending on how deep the damage went - Dropped into active projects to stabilise, optimise or get them back on track - Supported teams with DevOps architecture, cloud infrastructure and CI/CD improvements - Left each engagement with documentation, so the next person did not have to reverse-engineer my decisions Stack: Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Helm BetConstruct - Head of SRE Department SEP 2019 - DEC 2020 | Yerevan, Armenia Led the SRE department through operations, cost and process improvements - the part of engineering that shows up on an invoice. - Drove operations improvements across a 20+ person department, mostly by removing work that did not need to exist - Cut infrastructure costs without making reliability the sacrifice - Turned tribal knowledge into standard practices the team could actually follow - Managed vendor sourcing and contract negotiations; procurement is just capacity planning with lawyers - Hired, mentored and kept a distributed team pointed at the same problems - Owned the compliance conversations - SOC2, NIST, ISO 27001 - with evidence rather than optimism Stack: Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, NGINX, HAProxy, RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux BetConstruct - Senior Unix/Linux Systems Engineer JAN 2016 - SEP 2019 | Yerevan, Armenia Ran Linux systems and built the company's in-house CI/CD platform, back when buying one was not an option. - Administered Linux systems across bare metal, virtual hosts and the first containers that stuck - Built and supported open source infrastructure instead of waiting for a vendor roadmap - Implemented monitoring and alerting that could tell the difference between "busy" and "broken" - Developed a proprietary CI/CD system, because the build pipeline is a product whether you treat it as one or not - Designed and deployed large infrastructures spanning bare metal, VMs and containers - Ran root cause analysis: found the cause, fixed the cause, wrote down what the cause taught us Stack: RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux, Ansible, Jenkins, NGINX, HAProxy, Prometheus, Zabbix BetConstruct - Unix/Linux Systems Engineer FEB 2014 - JAN 2016 | Yerevan, Armenia Unix/Linux, virtualisation, DNS, web and proxy services across an estate that grew faster than the documentation. - Administered Unix/Linux systems across a mixed estate of physical, virtual and early container workloads - Built and supported NFS, DNS, web and proxy servers, the unglamorous plumbing everything else depends on - Administered the virtualisation layer, back when "cloud" still meant a room with a door - Managed the Cloudflare enterprise account via API, because clicking through a console at scale is not a strategy - Automated the repeatable work in Bash and Perl; the rest was on-call - Covered after-hours and holiday support and learned which alerts deserved a phone call Stack: RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux, NGINX, HAProxy, DNS, KVM, Bash, Perl BetConstruct - NOC Engineer JUL 2013 - FEB 2014 | Yerevan, Armenia Kept the lights on before "observability" was a budget line. Monitoring, alerting and automation for a 24/7 operation. - Implemented system monitoring and alerting before it had a fashionable name - Built proactive monitoring and preventative action plans, so outages were something we found before users did - Automated the daily procedures that were quietly eating the team's mornings - Managed the Google Apps enterprise account, back when that was a whole job - Carried after-hours and holiday on-call, which is where operational empathy comes from Stack: Zabbix, Nagios, Bash, RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux SKILLS Cloud Computing: Google Cloud (GCP), AWS, Azure, IONOS, Aliyun, OTC, Hetzner, OCI Linux/UNIX administration: RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, OpenBSD, FreeBSD Orchestration: GKE, EKS, OKE, Kubernetes, K3s, OpenShift, Rancher IaaC: Terraform, OpenTofu, Tilt, Terrapod, Terragrunt Configuration Management: Ansible, Chef, Puppet CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab CI, Bitbucket CI, GitHub Actions, Argo Events, Argo Workflows, Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, Kargo, Werf, Cloud Native Buildpacks Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Thanos, OpenTelemetry, Fluentd, FluentBit, Langfuse, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Zabbix, Nagios Service Mesh: Linkerd, Istio, Cilium Package Management: Helm, dep, rpm, Porter Workflow Automation: Knative, n8n, Kubeflow, Apache Airflow, Koreo AI/ML: OpenLLM, Ollama, OpenDevin, LiteLLM, vLLM, llm-d Web: NGINX, Kong, OpenResty, Apache, lighttpd Proxy: HAProxy, Squid, Envoy, Traefik Caching: Varnish, Redis, Memcached Database: PostgreSQL, CloudNativePG, MySQL, ClickHouse, SQLite, MongoDB, Tarantool Messaging: Kafka, Zookeeper, VerneMQ, Memphis Source Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab, gitolite, SVN Vulnerability Assessment: OpenVAS, Trivy, Nessus Policy Management: Kyverno, OPA Chaos Engineering: Chaos Mesh, LitmusChaos Provisioning: Vagrant, Packer, Karpenter Containerization: Docker, containerd, LXC DNS: BIND, CoreDNS, KubeDNS, Cloudflare API SMTP: Exim, Postfix, Mailu Virtualization: KVM, ESXi Scripting: Bash, Go, Perl Infrastructure architecture Penetration testing Problem resolution Team management PROJECTS 2025 | DevOps Skills Demo | Demo | https://github.com/Amirbekyan/devops-task 2024 - 2025 | Deep Origin OS | Deep Origin | https://www.deeporigin.com 2025 | ESPX® | Bax Energy Italia Srl | https://www.baxenergy.com/ 2023 - 2024 | Cubiks E-commerce Platform | Cubikssoft 2022 - 2024 | Platform161 | Verve Group | https://verve.com/demand-side-platform/ 2021 - 2023 | Urbana IoT Suite | Urbana Smart Solutions | https://urbanasmart.com/ 2021 - 2022 | Inka | Dr.Pfleger Arzneimittel | https://www.meine-inka.de/ 2021 | Magnosco | Magnosco GmbH | https://magnosco.com 2021 | EuXFEL Trainings | European XFEL | https://training.xfel.eu/ 2020 | DocDay | SureCompanies Inc. | https://www.docday.com/ 2019 | allynow.com | Ally Inc. | https://allynow.com/ 2013 - 2020 | VBet.com | BetConstruct | https://www.vbet.com/ EDUCATION 2011 - 2013 | Bachelor Degree, Information Technologies | European Regional Educational Academy, Yerevan, Armenia 2008 - 2011 | Informatics and Applied Mathematics | Yerevan State University, Yerevan, Armenia LANGUAGES: Armenian, English, Russian
