You work directly with the person doing the work, not a project manager relaying it to someone else. No bench, no handoffs, no team you've never met billing hours on your account.
Platform Engineering
Infra clicked together by hand. It works until someone asks why the bill keeps climbing, or the one person who understands it is on vacation.
GCP-native distributed systems, Terraform-managed infrastructure, Kubernetes and Helm at production scale.
- › Reduced infrastructure costs 40% by automating LLM compute VM lifecycle through Terraform-managed provisioning
- › Architected and maintained 30+ microservices sustaining 80K+ RPS peak load
- › Maintained 97% platform uptime across 6 internal services via k6 and Grafana observability
AI Integration
Everyone wants AI features. Most of what gets built stays a demo, never reaches production traffic.
RAG pipelines and AI agents in production, vLLM, Qdrant, MCP servers and GenKit, from vector search to end-to-end automation.
- › Delivered a production RAG sales agent, intent pipeline through CTA, integrating a vector database, relational database and external data sources via GenKit
Offensive Security
You do not know what is actually exposed until someone finds it first, and it is rarely you.
Daily HackTheBox practice, CTF PHDays 2019 Top 3 finish, TryHackMe and Cisco security certifications behind it, the same attacker mindset that goes into hardening what I build.
- › Secured Linux-based infrastructure, 99.9% uptime maintained under active threat monitoring
- › CTF PHDays 2019, Top 3 finish

Infra Cost And Architecture Review
A pass over what you're running and what it costs, before you commit to a rebuild. Where the money's going, what's oversized, what's one outage away from a bad week.
- › Full read of the current setup: compute, storage, network, what's actually load-bearing
- › Ranked list of what to fix first, cost and risk both
- › Straight answer on whether you need a rebuild or just tuning
Kubernetes And Terraform Setup
Get your infrastructure running on Kubernetes with Terraform managing it, not clicked together by hand. GKE-native, reproducible, documented.
- › Production-ready Kubernetes cluster, sized for what you actually run
- › Terraform modules for the infra, checked into your own repo
- › Handoff docs so your team can run it without me
Open Source Deployment
Self-host the tool you want, running on hardware you control, not someone else's cloud.
- › The open source tool deployed and configured for your actual use case
- › Monitoring so you know if it goes down
- › A setup you can maintain yourself after I leave
Network And Security Audit
A look at your network setup and what's actually exposed, from someone who does this for CTFs, not just reads about it.
- › Network configuration review (firewall rules, exposure, access paths)
- › A real attempt to find what an attacker would find first
- › Ranked list of fixes, not a compliance checkbox report
DIY Development
Got a weird project that doesn't fit a normal job description? If it's the kind of thing I'd build for myself, I'll probably take it.
- › Whatever the project actually needs, scoped after we talk
- › Built the way I'd build it for myself, not cut corners
- › Honest answer if it's not a fit, not a padded quote
Bring me in to run a session for your team. Kubernetes fundamentals, Terraform workflows, Go concurrency, whatever gap you're trying to close. Format and length scoped to what you actually need, not a fixed curriculum.
"I had the pleasure of working with Vladislav. He is one of those rare professionals who combines strong technical expertise with real ownership and responsibility. No matter how challenging the task was, I could always rely on him to find a solution and get things done. His ability to think strategically, solve complex problems, and keep projects moving forward made a significant impact on our company. Beyond his technical skills, Vladislav is a trustworthy leader, a great team player, and someone who genuinely cares about the success of the business. I highly recommend him to any organization looking for a strong CTO and technology leader."
