Summary
Maksim Samoilov is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years in software development and over 6 years focused on SRE, Kubernetes, and cloud automation, known for turning complex microservices landscapes into resilient, observable platforms. He has repeatedly slashed outages and deployment times—one migration cut outages ninefold and another redesign reduced provisioning from weeks to hours—while also driving a 90% reduction in engineers’ support time through automation with Python, Go, and Kubernetes operators. Comfortable across infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi), GitOps (ArgoCD), and security tooling (Vault, Teleport, OPA, Trivy), he blends strong programming skills with pragmatic security-first architecture. Based in Tbilisi and contributing across frontend and backend stacks earlier in his career, he brings a full-stack mindset that surfaces non-obvious operational improvements like build-process refactors and integrated CI previews.
