Kirill Solovei

I'm a Senior Systems Engineer with 12+ years of experience across the full infrastructure stack — from bare-metal datacenters to cloud-native Kubernetes platforms. I specialise in AWS, platform engineering, and building systems that are reliable, observable, and secure.

Currently working remotely from Gdańsk, Poland. Open to senior infrastructure and platform engineering roles.
