Summary
Lena Pismeny is a DevOps and DevSecOps leader with 12 years of hands-on experience building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure across startups and large enterprises, now serving as DevOps Engineer and EU IT Manager in Amsterdam. Her background spans multi-cloud automation (AWS, GCP), Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Puppet and CI optimizations that have cut costs and improved feedback loops—most notably a 25% monorepo CI clone time reduction and a 40% CI cost saving.

Outside core tooling, she’s known for scripting clever automation solutions and pragmatic trade-offs that keep systems reliable at scale.
