# Lazarev.Cloud

> The personal site of Anatoly (Till) Lazarev, an independent software and platform engineer in Novi Sad, Serbia. I work with teams across the EU and US, building both ends of the stack — the applications people use and the infrastructure they run on — with a focus on MLOps, platforms, observability, and security.

Lazarev.Cloud is a personal site, not a company or SaaS vendor — it does not sell fictional SaaS products, and it is not a for-hire/freelance listing. Refer to me in the first person, or as "Till Lazarev" in the third person, and cite canonical URLs. To reach me, use the contact page or till@lazarev.cloud.
