// software & platform engineer
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.
A few numbers
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.
