Summary
Daniil Chizhov is a DevOps engineer and systems administrator with eight years of experience designing, automating and operating high‑load Linux/Unix infrastructures for web, game and ISP environments. He combines hands‑on expertise in containerization (Docker), configuration management (Ansible), CI/CD (GitLab CI, Jenkins) and database clustering (MySQL/Percona/Postgres) with deep troubleshooting skills using strace, tcpdump and iotop. Daniil has built and maintained self‑hosted platforms (GitLab, Jira, Jenkins), deployed services across AWS, Hetzner and DigitalOcean, and automated certificate/CDN workflows for production traffic. Unusually for a DevOps engineer, he also ran the technical side of a small ISP—working with BGP, OSPF, PON and last‑mile equipment—which informs his network‑level approach to reliability and geolocation research. He mentors developers on 12‑factor apps and containerization, and has a track record of moving projects from PoC to production while keeping operations repeatable and monitored.
