About

DevOps Engineer with experience building, operating, and modernizing production telecom platforms and backend infrastructure.

At Omobio, I work on carrier-grade SMS Firewall infrastructure for mobile network operators, covering deployment, Linux administration, automation, troubleshooting, incident response, and application support.

The platform work includes Kubernetes migration, Docker/Podman containerization, Erlang-based distributed systems, telecom signaling protocols, monitoring, and release validation for highly available environments.

Public backend platform: microservicefrontend.rumalg.me.

Technical Focus

  • >Kubernetes and container platforms
  • >Linux systems administration
  • >DevOps and platform engineering
  • >CI/CD and infrastructure automation
  • >Telecom infrastructure and messaging platforms
  • >Backend architecture and distributed systems
  • >High availability and reliability engineering

Engineering Standards

  • >Reliability requires clear ownership across deployment, runtime, and recovery paths.
  • >Operational systems should degrade predictably when dependencies fail.
  • >Production support is engineering work that improves the platform over time.
  • >Correctness under load and failure matters more than happy-path completeness.

My focus is predictable operations, clear failure handling, and systems that can be maintained under production pressure.
