Systems.Code.Clarity.
I’m Aleksandr Simonov. A platform engineer working at the intersection of Kubernetes, infrastructure automation and developer tooling.
Infrastructure is the foundation.
Good tooling is the multiplier.
My work spans platform engineering and DevOps. Outside the day job, I build open-source tools for Kubernetes, reproducible environments and everyday automation.
