Summary
Mykola Perehinets is a Principal Storage Engineer and Solutions Architect with over 15 years designing and operating production-scale distributed object, block, and file storage systems, with deep hands-on expertise in Ceph, ZFS, BlueStore, and RocksDB tuning. He bridges hardware-to-application gaps—diagnosing MDS stalls, compaction-driven latency, and platform automation interactions—so architecture, operations, and security are treated as one. His work spans forensic incident response, hybrid storage architecture, observability integrations (Prometheus/Grafana/Zabbix), and MITRE ATT&CK-aligned Linux audit hardening. As a former DevSecOps lead and startup CTO, he also brings experience building RPA teams, vendor validation, and productizing SDS solutions with Golang and Kubernetes. Based in Lviv, Ukraine, he consults internationally as a private entrepreneur, favoring thorny cross-layer problems where storage behavior masquerades as application faults. Notably, he authored operational tooling (ceph-mds-doctor.sh) and validated designs against real workloads using FIO/Elbencho and hardware vendors like Supermicro and Dell.
