Summary
Mike Dronov is a seasoned DevOps engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing, operating, and automating Linux-based infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments. CKA-certified and currently running production Kubernetes, GitOps (Argo CD), and observability stacks at HypeAuditor, he pairs deep platform skills (AWS, Hetzner, EKS, Terraform, Helm) with incident ownership and clear post-mortems. Previously he led Linux and firmware efforts at Restream—porting kernels and managing CI for half a million devices—bringing embedded systems mindset to scalable cloud operations. At Zeal Group he improved CDN and DNS workflows (Akamai, NS1) and accelerated CI/CD by 30–40% through IaC and integration work. Comfortable writing small ops tools in Go and maintaining databases like MongoDB and Qdrant, he’s the kind of engineer who moves between low-level kernel ports and high-level platform automation without losing sight of reliability. Based in Belgrade, he combines a pragmatic engineering approach with a track record of measurable operational improvements.
