// platform & MLOps engineer
Anatoly (Till) Lazarev
A platform and MLOps engineer in Novi Sad, Serbia. I build the platforms other engineers ship on: ML infrastructure, Kubernetes, GPU, and the security underneath. At a fintech serving millions of users I built the company's ML platform from scratch and still run it as its sole engineer. This is my personal site — not a company.
A few numbers
From systems I've built and run — zero to production, and operated end to end.
What I do
The platform, and what sits under it.
ML Platforms & MLOps
From data to a trained, versioned and served model in one place: notebooks, pipelines, experiment tracking, model registry and serving, built for several teams at once.
GPU Infrastructure
Shared GPU capacity instead of one card per person: VRAM slices, quotas that explain a refusal before launch, and nodes provisioned on demand per workload.
Kubernetes & Cloud
EKS and bare-metal, OpenTofu/Terraform, GitOps with Argo CD, multi-tenancy and policy. Reproducible infrastructure, defined in code.
Platform Security
SSO, Vault-issued credentials and internal PKI, admission policy, mTLS, and tenant isolation that holds up under review.
Developer & AI Tooling
SDKs, CLIs and MCP servers that let people and AI assistants use a platform from a laptop, without cluster access or cloud keys.
Observability & Reliability
Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics and Grafana at high cardinality, OpenTelemetry tracing, and alerts worth waking up for.
