Ilya
Yakubov.
I build reliable platforms and improve engineering processes across delivery, incidents, changes and problem management.
Production engineering in FinTech since 2021, with an infrastructure background dating to 2009. I combine hands-on cloud and Kubernetes work with technical leadership, platform design and operational ownership.
INFRASTRUCTURE · OPERATIONS · RELIABILITYExplore profile
A practical leader
for complex systems.
I work with developers on architecture decisions, build development environments and solve day-to-day production challenges. I set engineering standards and make changes repeatable and safe.
At Albion Soft, I help guide an eight-person DevOps team and partner with Development, Production Support and Security. I stay close to implementation — from EKS and GKE to incident reviews and cloud capacity planning.
