Summary
👤
SeniorAlexander Rykalin is a seasoned Software Development Engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and Go-based tooling, currently contributing at Wildberries from St. Petersburg. He brings a DevOps-first mindset evidenced by deep work integrating Venafi PKI across HashiCorp Vault, Terraform, Kubernetes cert-manager, and numerous automation tools (Ansible, Jenkins, Prometheus) while authoring SDKs, CLIs and providers. His background spans private cloud (OpenStack) PaaS design, CI/CD pipeline creation, and production-grade monitoring and orchestration, enabling teams to move Java workloads to Kubernetes reliably. Comfortable in small, cross-functional teams, he pairs hands-on engineering with product decomposition and estimation, and prefers socially significant projects that combine security and automation. An often-unseen strength is his track record of modernizing legacy modules (SaltStack, OpenStack tooling) to current SDKs and cloud patterns, reducing technical debt while enabling reproducible deployments.
