Vlad Voloshyn
Hello! I’m Vlad Voloshyn. I'm a DevOps who's been in the game for 20 years. I've got tons of experience with managing systems, automating stuff, and working with cloud tech. I'm all about setting up smooth CI/CD pipelines, containerizing apps, using infrastructure as code, and keeping systems running fast and secure.
I love making developers' lives easier by streamlining their workflows. And I'm a pro at getting dev and ops teams to work together like a well-oiled machine.
