Experience

Automation Engineer: Padani Jewelers (e-com); (2022-2026)

Drove the Magento -> Shopify data migration for 500+ SKUs by automating data processing and batch import workflows; reduced end-to-end catalog deployment time by ~60%.
Built and maintained an automated Python-based ETL pipeline to extract, normalize and transform product data into Shopify-ready imports (Matrixify-compatible); reduced manual effort and import failures by improving data quality via schema validation.
Automated bulk asset collection via custom-built scrapper for product imagery collection from vendor/brand websites, enforcing naming rules and SKU-level mappings, and assembling packages for bulk upload.
Deployed new product discovery as Dockerized scheduled jobs on an internal Linux server (cron), using SQLite for state/delta detection to generate import-ready datasets automatically. Implemented GitLab CI/CD pipelines; integrated observability via Prometheus and Grafana for structured logging.

Projects

HomeLab / Self-Hosted Infrastructure

Designed and operated a home lab focused on storage reliability with secure remote access and self-hosted network services, including a NAS with an 8-disk mirrored layout and daily mirroring/replication to reduce data-loss risk.
Deployed core networking services on a Linux host, including ad-blocking DNS filtering and VPN-based access (WireGuard/Tailscale) for remote connectivity.
Operated a dedicated data distribution service with stable uptime and high availability.

Yandex Cloud: Microservices Platform on Kubernetes

Deployed a microservices app to Yandex Cloud managed Kubernetes.
Provisioned infrastructure via Terraform and deployed releases with Helm.
Implemented GitLab CI/CD pipeline for building & pushing images to registry and deploying to K8s via Helm/kubectl.

VPS: Connectivity & Services Platform (Docker)

Built and maintained a VPS-based platform running dockerized services (VPN access, DNS filtering, reverse proxy, Telegram bots), providing secure remote access for 40+ active users.
Implemented reverse proxying and traffic routing via HAProxy and deployed multiple VPN-services (WireGuard/Tailscale/Outline/Hiddify) to support different clients and connectivity scenarios.
Set up monitoring dashboards, metrics and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager), with notifications and basic operational control via Telegram bots; maintained approximately 99% uptime over the last year.
