Dmitry Sandalov is a Principal Cloud Architect based in Malmö, Sweden with 14 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native systems and migrating legacy products to Azure. At Tungsten Automation he blends enterprise-level strategy and hands-on implementation—authoring Terraform modules, introducing VNets-per-product, and enforcing Azure governance, security and monitoring standards. His background spans backend Java development, CI tooling at Oracle, and early work in digital media and embedded measurement devices, giving him a rare mix of systems-level rigor and application-level insight. Dmitry contributes to open-source projects such as the Invidious YouTube front-end, where he improved playlist management and localization—evidence of a pragmatic, user-focused approach to backend engineering. He’s known for turning monolithic on-prem products into containerized, Kubernetes-deployed offerings and for fostering collaborative IaC ownership across teams. Outside core cloud work, his eclectic past—from running a bicycle distribution business to studying classical guitar—underscores a practical, curious mindset that fuels creative problem solving.
