Top SchoolTimofei Larkin is a cloud-focused engineering leader with 9 years of experience building and operating resilient, cost-conscious infrastructure across finance and retail at companies like Tinkoff, X5 Retail Group, and 3Commas. Currently Head of Development at Ænix in Tbilisi, he blends hands-on DevOps expertise—Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Okta—with architecture and team leadership to deliver highly available API gateways and immutable infrastructure. He has driven complex migrations (EKS, monitoring to VictoriaMetrics), designed centralized access and security integrations, and introduced policies to measurably improve developer delivery. Timofei’s background as a STEM PhD in solid-state physics gives him a researcher's rigor in measurement and observability, and he often builds bespoke tooling (operators, CLIs, exporters) to solve platform gaps. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, security-minded platform decisions that reduce cost and downtime while enabling developer velocity. He prefers Telegram for direct contact.
