Vitaly Lobachev — Platform / DevOps Engineer · Amsterdam, NL

LinkedIn GitHub Open to work

Building fault-tolerant, self-healing infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes. Fifteen-plus years across cloud, IaC, CI/CD and observability — now building AI platforms: production Kubernetes for GenAI workloads, LLMOps pipelines and agentic tooling.

Focus

cloud/k8s      →  highly-available, multi-account AWS · EKS · service mesh
infra-as-code  →  Terraform · Ansible · reproducible environments
gitops         →  ArgoCD · Argo Rollouts (blue-green, canary)
observability  →  Prometheus · Grafana · Thanos · unified logging + alerting
ai platform    →  GenAI on EKS · Dify · Onyx · RAG · vector databases
ai agents (now)→  Claude Code · MCP servers · LiteLLM · multi-agent workflows
