How it all started
Short story about the beginning of my studies in kood/johvi
DevOps Engineer | Software Developer
Tanel Dubolazov
I'm a software engineer specializing in DevOps practices and cloud infrastructure. With a background in marketing, I bring a unique perspective to technical projects, focusing on both functionality and user experience. I excel at optimizing systems, automating workflows, and building scalable solutions.
About Me
Throughout my journey from marketing to e-commerce to software engineering, I've developed a passion for understanding complex systems and building efficient solutions.
I approach technical challenges with curiosity and resilience. When faced with system failures, I don't just fix the immediate issue - I analyze the root cause and implement sustainable improvements. This investigative mindset drives my work in DevOps, where I break down infrastructure into manageable components and design robust automation pipelines.
Rather than spreading myself thin across every technology, I focus on strategic learning and adaptability. I prioritize understanding core concepts that transfer across tools and platforms, allowing me to quickly master new technologies when needed for specific projects or challenges.
