About
Lazarev.Cloud is my personal engineering practice, based in Novi Sad, Serbia. I build both ends of the stack — the applications people use and the infrastructure they run on — with a focus on MLOps, platforms, observability, and security. I work hands-on: when something ships here, I built it.
Background
Anatoly (Till) Lazarev
7+ years building secure, scalable platforms across bare-metal Linux and AWS. The founding MLOps engineer at a fintech, where the ML platform was built from scratch — multiple ML teams training, versioning, and deploying independently on Kubernetes, with SSO, Vault-managed secrets, and GPU/CPU isolation. Prior infrastructure roles spanned large-scale observability, cloud cost and build-time optimization, and the security plumbing underneath.
