Summary
Aleksandr Shliakhov is a Senior DevOps Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating resilient cloud-native platforms, currently driving infrastructure at Linnworks from Tallinn. He specializes in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD/Helm) and has led large migrations—moving 30+ services to EKS with zero downtime—while building self-service platform engineering capabilities that shrink time-to-market. Aleksandr pairs infrastructure-as-code and automation (Python, Ansible, Jenkins/GitLab CI) with strong observability practices (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) to ensure 24x7 reliability and cost efficiency. His background spans FinTech, logistics and enterprise systems, and he often converts recurring operational tasks into automated services, freeing teams from manual ops. Known for pragmatic documentation, knowledge-sharing and being an on-call stalwart, he brings a platform mindset that treats automation as the ultimate governance.
