Summary
Kanat Akylson is a Senior DevOps Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience modernizing infrastructure and accelerating delivery for mission-critical systems, most recently architecting a three-environment Kubernetes platform that supports 60+ banking microservices. He blends cloud migrations (AWS), CI/CD automation, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) to reduce costs and improve reliability, and is fluent in observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, ELK) and secrets/security tooling like Vault and Keycloak. At Aiyl Bank he boosted release velocity by 25% and saved developer time through targeted Python automation, reflecting a pragmatic focus on developer experience as well as ops resilience. Comfortable across Windows and Linux environments, networking, and databases, Kanat pairs operational leadership with a knack for scripting repetitive workflows into repeatable pipelines. Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, he brings a mix of enterprise IT management and hands-on platform engineering that makes complex migrations and large-scale container deployments predictable and auditable.
