Hi, I'm Zhen 👋
I'm a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer based in Chicago, IL with 6+ years of experience designing, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure. I spend my days at Wells Fargo building enterprise-grade platforms on AWS — and making sure they stay up.
My work spans the full DevOps lifecycle: infrastructure as code with Terraform, container orchestration with Kubernetes and EKS, GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, and observability stacks with Prometheus and Grafana. I believe in automating everything that can be automated.
What sets me apart is hands-on experience with AI/ML infrastructure — deploying ML workloads on AWS SageMaker and Bedrock, integrating OpenAI APIs, and building the DevOps foundation for AI-powered products at enterprise scale in a regulated financial environment.
I relocated from Kyrgyzstan to the United States and built my career in tech from the ground up — that drive and resilience shapes how I approach every challenge.
