Summary
Stanislav Cherkasov is a Senior DevSecOps Consultant and seasoned Platform/SRE engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building secure, production-grade cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. He specializes in Kubernetes platform engineering (EKS/AKS/GKE), GitOps with Argo CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible to enable teams to ship faster with fewer incidents. As an independent contractor based in Krakow, he delivers end-to-end ownership—from cloud foundations and networking to CI/CD, observability, and secrets management—often embedding DevSecOps and policy-as-code into delivery pipelines for compliance-heavy clients. He has a track record of architecting multi-tenant, highly available platforms, integrating HashiCorp Vault, and automating build agents and GitOps lifecycle at scale. Comfortable mentoring and leading distributed teams, he favors pragmatic, stability-first solutions over theoretical complexity. A former Unix/Linux sysadmin by background, he brings deep systems-level troubleshooting skills that often reveal and resolve subtle operational risks before they become incidents.
