About

Julia Basanets

DevOps engineer with hands-on experience across the full infrastructure stack, from GitLab CI pipelines and Docker optimization to PostgreSQL tuning and on-premise deployments.

I bring DevOps culture to teams: reviewing developer-written Dockerfiles, optimizing pipelines, teaching clean git practices. Currently at ITTAS, where I own infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and security compliance.

Outside of work I mentor junior engineers — setting up tasks and guiding their technical growth.

Infrastructure & Performance

Reduced MariaDB disk I/O from 88% to 3% by eliminating queue buildup and optimizing write patterns — no hanging processes. Cut Docker image sizes from 2.1GB to 1.2GB using multi-stage builds and leaner base images. Applied container resource limits to reduce overall server footprint.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

Refactored the shared pipeline repository: extracted reusable jobs, added conditional triggers, reduced active pipelines from every branch down to 2 main branches. Used YAML anchors and extends to eliminate duplication. Reviewed and optimized developer-written pipelines and Dockerfiles.

PostgreSQL 15 → 18 Migration

Migrated PostgreSQL from version 15 to 18 across containers and systemd services. Tuned PostgreSQL config: WAL settings, logging, shared libraries. Set up Grafana dashboards for database metrics, Docker resource usage, and server monitoring.

On-Premise Deployment

Deployed the company's application across 3 on-premise machines from scratch. Wrote deployment scripts and full technical documentation covering the entire setup. Configured Portainer with GitLab webhooks for container management and automated updates. Set up MinIO S3 storage.

Security & Compliance

Fixed vulnerabilities to pass product security certification. Integrated SonarQube and its plugins into CI pipelines across repositories for automated code quality checks. Configured OpenLDAP for centralized authentication. Tuned PHP configs for CRM and cloud environments. Managed SSL/TLS certificate renewals.

DevOps Culture & Mentoring

Introduced DevOps practices to the dev team: rebasing instead of constant merge commits, Dockerfile best practices, pipeline structure improvements. Mentored a junior engineer with a structured task track. Maintained documentation covering infrastructure, deployment processes, and operational runbooks.

Cloud Infrastructure & Automation

Provisioned DigitalOcean droplets with Terraform and automated the full stack deployment using Ansible roles and Bash scripts — Nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, and SSL covered in a single playbook run. Containerized a Go application with Docker Compose and built a GitLab CI/CD pipeline. Set up Prometheus and Grafana on a dedicated monitoring droplet. Configured an EFK stack (Fluentd → Elasticsearch → Kibana) for centralized log aggregation. Deployed to Kubernetes using Helm charts.
