Airat Iunusov · DevOps engineer

I built a business by hand. Now I build systems that tell you when they break.

My first hotel, I built with my partner, just the two of us, no staff. I still finish what I promise, and I test that it holds.

Who I am

I studied at a technical university, then ran my own businesses. Now I work on infrastructure: CI/CD, backups and monitoring for web products.

I like systems that tell you when they break, and I like it when someone else can run my work without asking me how.

How I work

  • Run it on a clean VM, the way a newcomer would.
  • Write down what failed, then fix it.
  • Add a test so it does not come back.
  • Say what I did not check.

At work

CI/CD, Docker releases, backups and monitoring for web products at a small company. The code is private.
