Oleksandr Kuryzhev

I am a DevOps engineer with more than eight years in IT operations and six years building and running cloud-native platforms. I work primarily on Amazon Web Services, with a focus on infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, and reliable automation for production workloads.

My background spans Linux system administration, containerized services, and hands-on delivery in an AWS Premier Partner environment. Day to day, I design and maintain pipelines, serverless workflows, backup and monitoring solutions, and the tooling that keeps systems predictable at scale.

What I focus on

  • Cloud (AWS) โ€” compute, storage, networking, serverless, and cost-aware design
  • Infrastructure as code โ€” Terraform and repeatable, reviewable environments
  • CI/CD โ€” build, test, and deploy automation across Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions
  • Kubernetes & GitOps โ€” clusters, Helm charts, and delivery with Argo CD
  • Operations โ€” Docker-based stacks, metrics, alerting, backups, and practical runbooks
  • AI platforms โ€” LiteLLM gateways, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, and agent-driven pipelines that ship tools to public sites

Tools & technologies

Technologies I use regularly in production and in the projects documented on this blog:

  • Languages & scripting โ€” Bash, Python
  • CI/CD โ€” Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions
  • IaC & config โ€” Terraform, CloudFormation (where applicable)
  • Containers & orchestration โ€” Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Helm
  • GitOps & delivery โ€” Argo CD
  • AWS services โ€” Lambda, S3, EventBridge, CloudWatch, ALB, IAM, RDS, and related building blocks
  • Observability โ€” Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, and alert-driven workflows
  • AI & LLM โ€” LiteLLM, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, Hermes agents, and Python content pipelines

Certifications

AWS certifications (verified on LinkedIn):

  • AWS Certified DevOps Engineer โ€“ Professional (2025)
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect โ€“ Associate (2023)
  • AWS Certified SysOps Administrator โ€“ Associate (2022)
  • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (2022)

This site is where I publish technical notes and tutorials from real projectsโ€”automation scripts, monitoring setups, and lessons learned in production. I also maintain Game Server Monitor for Rust, Arma Reforger, DayZ, Minecraft, and Squad, a free browser games portal, DevTools (80+ in-browser utilities), and LLM โ€” live model benchmarks, pricing, cost calculators, and AI-built tools such as the Batch API Savings calculator.
