Volodymyr F.

🙌 Hi! I'm Volo — Solutions Architect and DevOps engineer with 13+ years of commercial experience, now focused on building and shipping AI-powered applications and the infrastructure that runs them. I bridge the gap between AI ideas and production reality: from LLM-based agents and automation pipelines to the Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD, and cloud architecture they run on. One person who can design the solution, build it, deploy it, and keep it running. 🥇 Production-grade quality is my biggest benefit 😎 What I do: 🔻 AI Apps & Automation — LLM integrations (Claude, OpenAI), AI agent workflows, n8n automation pipelines, RAG, prompt engineering, API orchestration 🔻 DevOps & GitOps, 8+ years — Kubernetes (k3s), Argo CD, Kustomize, Docker, GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins, SOPS secrets management, GHCR 🔻 Cloud & Infrastructure, 10+ years — AWS, Linux (Ubuntu/Debian), Ansible, Traefik, Nginx, Varnish, Redis, RabbitMQ, CDN & load balancing, Cloudflare 🔻 Web Applications, 13+ years — PHP (Laravel, Magento 2), Node.js, MySQL/PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, high-load e-commerce Typical engagements: 👉 Architecting and deploying AI applications from prototype to production 👉 GitOps-based CI/CD pipelines for multi-environment delivery (preprod/prod) 👉 Kubernetes cluster setup, migration, and cost optimization 👉 Cloud migrations (dedicated servers → AWS), performance tuning, troubleshooting 👉 Self-hosted infrastructure: private clouds, monitoring, secure storage Beyond hands-on work: ⭐️ Led and supervised DevOps teams, established technical standards ⭐️ Mentored engineers, recruited and onboarded new team members ⭐️ Designed technical solution concepts and coordinated their implementation ⭐️ Improved internal processes — monitoring, documentation, knowledge sharing I've been in IT since the early 2000s, and the AI wave is the most exciting shift I've seen — I build with these tools daily, not just talk about them. Looking for someone who can take your AI product or infrastructure from "it works on my laptop" to a reliable, scalable, secured production system? Let's talk. 🚀
