Summary
Pavel Smolin is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 8 years’ experience building and operating high-load cloud and bare-metal platforms, currently focused on Kubernetes-driven infrastructure from Bali. He has a proven track record migrating large iGaming and blockchain workloads off VMware to OpenStack, cutting costs and downtime while scaling observability for millions of metrics and terabytes of logs. At Onlanta he drove Agile adoption and optimized k8s deployments with Istio, ArgoCD/Flux and multi-stage builds, delivering sizable reductions in deployment time, resource consumption and cloud spend. Pavel blends deep infrastructure automation (Ansible, Terraform/CICD) with hands-on blockchain node and RPC provider operations across Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin and other chains — a mix that few DevOps engineers maintain in production. He also mentors teams and embeds AI-driven tooling into platforms, reflecting an unusual combination of system reliability focus and emergent-tech experimentation.
