Dmytro Stepchenkov

I'm a Devops Engineer

I help teams ship complex infrastructure fast and safely — from Terraform and CI/CD to Kubernetes, security hardening, and cost optimization.

My Services

Cloud Architecture

Design and implementation of scalable AWS/Azure/GCP infrastructure with best practices for security and reliability.

Infrastructure as Code

Provisioning and management of infrastructure using Terraform/Terragrunt with reusable modules and clean state strategy.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated build, test, and deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins) with safe rollout strategies.

Containerization

Dockerization, Kubernetes deployments, Helm charts, and cluster operations with robust deployment patterns.

Observability

Metrics, logs, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK/CloudWatch) to reduce downtime and MTTR.

Security & Hardening

IAM least privilege, secrets management, network segmentation, and baseline hardening for production workloads.

Why Hire Me?

DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience in AWS, Linux, Docker, and CI/CD. I automate infrastructure with Terraform, improve observability, and harden systems—so releases are faster and production is stable.

My Experience

A track record of delivering stable infrastructure, automated deployments, and predictable operations across environments—from setup to production support.

• GitHub Actions CI/CD + security scanning: +40% deploy frequency

• AWS Lambda (Python) optimization: −25% cloud cost, sub-second latency

• KMS + private networking + least-privilege IAM (compliance-ready)

2018 - 2025

System Administrator / DevOps

NEXBIT

• Managed 500+ RHEL servers via Red Hat Satellite across Dev/Stage/Prod

• Enforced CIS hardening with Ansible/Satellite, reaching 100% compliance

• Integrated Linux with Active Directory for centralized identity and audits

• Built Prometheus/Grafana/ELK observability, cutting incident MTTR by 50%

My Education

Practical training focused on networking fundamentals, Linux administration, and security best practices—applied through labs and real-world scenarios.

2023 - 2025

Networks and Security

IT STEP

Covered TCP/IP, routing & switching, Linux fundamentals, and security basics. Built practical skills through labs: firewall rules, access control, and troubleshooting.

My Skills

A practical DevOps toolkit built around AWS, IaC, containers, CI/CD, and observability—focused on automation, reliability, and secure production operations.
