Summary
Nikita Massalitin is a DevOps Tech Lead with a decade of hands-on experience building and operating high-performance, production-grade infrastructure across dev/stage/prod environments. He specializes in Kubernetes and Docker, having architected k8s clusters on bare metal, written Helm charts and GitLab CI/CD pipelines from scratch, and automated environment provisioning at scale. Deep Linux, networking (CCNA/CCNP), and routing protocol expertise complements his strong monitoring and observability background—he has built multiple Prometheus-based stacks, custom exporters and alerting integrations for high-load services. Nikita also brings broad database and messaging experience (Postgres, ClickHouse, Mongo, Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ) and has migrated legacy apps into cloud-native platforms. Based in Tallinn, he combines systems-level rigor with application-level fluency in PHP, Go, Python and scripting, and a less obvious strength is his track record of sole authorship on end-to-end solutions—from network design to CI/CD and monitoring—across large, customer-facing systems.
