Anatoly (Till) Lazarev

A software and platform engineer in Novi Sad, Serbia. I build software and the cloud underneath it: applications, MLOps platforms, Kubernetes, observability, and security. This is my personal site; the systems here are mine, built and run by me — not a company.

From work I've built and run — zero to production, and operated end to end.

What I do

Both ends of the stack.

Software & Product Development

Full applications end to end — multi-tenant SaaS, internal tools, APIs and backends.

AI-Powered Applications

Products with LLMs at the core — Claude/API integration, agentic systems, and the retrieval and memory behind them.

MLOps & ML Platforms

Experiment tracking to model serving, CI/CD for ML, and the data plumbing between. Zero-to-production platform builds.

Cloud & Kubernetes

EKS & bare-metal, OpenTofu/Terraform, multi-tenancy, autoscaling, custom operators. Reproducible infrastructure, defined in code.

Observability & Reliability

Prometheus/Grafana, high-cardinality metrics pipelines, SLOs, and dashboards that make production legible.

Security & Self-Hosting

Secrets and internal PKI with Vault, SSO, intrusion prevention, and fully self-hosted GitOps stacks.
