FIELD NOTESDEVOPS & QA / AI & CHILLVERIFY FIRST · AUTOMATE THE BORING

Hi, I’m Vladimir. I break software professionally (QA), fix infrastructure before it breaks (DevOps), and make neural networks do the boring work. I’m lazy enough to spend three days on a ridiculously elaborate pipeline just to avoid pressing the same button twice. I vibe-code when the mood strikes. And if production does go down, I’ll bring it back before anyone notices.

“Works on my machine” is where the investigation starts.

02$ ls ./focus

four areas of work

01

DevOps

Taming containers and servers, building pipelines and keeping production afloat — even when it really wants to lie down.

02

Testing

Professionally clicking where the developers told me not to. Finding bugs before users spot them and managers turn grey.

03

AI & Agents

LLMs, RAG, local pipelines and a pack of agents. Getting real value from neural networks, beyond generating poetry.

04

Automation

CI/CD, scripts and a proud ambassador for engineering laziness. If a task needs doing twice, I’m probably already automating it.
