About

I'm Vitaly Bicov, a DevOps lead based in UTC+2. Most of my work is Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, Terraform and Helm, GitOps delivery, observability and keeping cloud bills under control. A good part of it is also about people: hiring, onboarding and growing DevOps teams.

Work history is on the Experience page and in my CV. To get in touch, see Contacts.
