DevOps & Platform Engineering

Platforms your team can build on — not work around.

I help product teams design, build and run cloud and bare-metal infrastructure — Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability — so engineers spend their time on the product, not on the plumbing.

Services

Everything between your code and your users

From one slow pipeline to a full internal platform — scoped to what your team actually needs.

Platform Engineering

An internal developer platform with golden paths: self-service environments, standard pipelines and sane defaults, so every team ships the same way.

  • Self-service environments
  • Golden-path service templates
  • Developer docs & onboarding

Kubernetes

Clusters on Google Cloud (GKE) or bare metal — designed, migrated, upgraded and hardened. Secure by default, boring to operate.

  • Cluster design & migrations
  • Upgrades & hardening
  • Helm charts & GitOps

Cloud & Infrastructure as Code

Google Cloud and bare-metal infrastructure described in Terraform and Ansible: reviewed, versioned and reproducible. No more snowflake servers.

  • Terraform modules & state layout
  • Ansible automation
  • Networking: VPCs, load balancing, DNS

CI/CD & Releases

Fast, reliable pipelines in GitLab CI or GitHub Actions — from commit to production with automated checks and safe rollbacks.

  • Pipeline design & speed-ups
  • Zero-downtime deployments
  • Automated rollbacks

Observability & Reliability

Metrics, logs and alerts with Prometheus and Grafana: alerting that wakes people up only when it matters, and a plan for when things break.

  • Dashboards, metrics & logs
  • SLOs & actionable alerting
  • Incident response & DDoS readiness

Audits & Cost Optimization

An independent review of your infrastructure: what to fix first, what to automate and where you are overpaying — in the cloud or on hardware.

  • Infrastructure & security review
  • Cloud cost optimization
  • Cloud vs. bare-metal strategy

Engagements

Three ways to work together

Start small with an audit, bring in help for a specific project, or keep a senior engineer on your team for the long run.

Fixed scope

Infrastructure Audit

A focused review of your infrastructure, pipelines, security and cloud costs. You get a written report and a prioritized roadmap — useful whether or not you continue working with me.

Best for: getting a clear picture before investing.

What’s in the audit
Defined outcome

Project Delivery

End-to-end delivery of a specific result: a Kubernetes platform, a migration to Google Cloud or bare metal, a new CI/CD setup. Milestones, documentation and handover included.

Best for: a concrete initiative with a deadline.

Monthly

Fractional DevOps

A senior DevOps engineer on your team part-time: platform ownership, upgrades, reviews and continuous improvement — without a full-time hire.

Best for: teams without a dedicated DevOps engineer.

Process

From first call to handover

  1. 01

    Intro call

    A short call to understand your stack, your team and what is slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Assess & plan

    I review the current state and propose a plan with priorities, trade-offs and estimates.

  3. 03

    Build

    Changes land as code, in small reviewed steps — without downtime for your users.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Documentation, runbooks and walkthroughs, so your team owns the result. No lock-in.

About

Work directly with a senior engineer

I’m Artem Atamanchuk, founder of Artem Atamanchuk LLC. For more than 12 years I’ve built and run production infrastructure for companies from early-stage startups to enterprises — starting in network engineering, then moving from bare-metal data centers to cloud-native Kubernetes on Google Cloud.

That path shapes how I work: I design systems from the network layer up, not from the YAML down. And when you work with the company, you work with me directly — no account managers, no hand-offs to juniors.
