About

Consider this a introduction

I guess this is a place for proper introduction. So welcome, please look around and try not to break things.

My name is Stanislav but most people just call me Stan. I prefer it that way too. I live in Melbourne, Australia - the most livable city in the world as they say, with my beautiful wife Alexandra. She is very good at photography, so go check her out.

I call myself a software engineer, old-school name for somebody who make computers do thing for other people. There are many different titles used by different companies to describe this role and I simply don’t care.

Generally I specialize on web backends, APIs design and cloud automation on Amazon Web Services platform. These are a very broad topics, yes. I take care of the important stuff such as scalability, security and integrations of the modern web infrastructure on public cloud platform. A lot of what I do can be described as automation of the development release cycle. Currently I work for FluentCommerce as a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. Most of the professional history is mentioned in LinkedIn but you can download a copy of my CV too.

Highlights

There are a few things I did or contributed to and think that they quite good. Check them out below:

  • OpenVZ - First in class virtualization platform for Linux. They were called containers before it was cool.
  • Anturis - Your web-based SaaS monitoring suite with internal and external metrics. Robus UI with ExtJS and Redis + Cassandra in the back
  • Cyclozzo - Reimplementation of Google’s App Engine on physical hardware with auto-balancing of load and cluster management
  • HyperTable - Open source version of Google’s BigTable. This was used by Cyclozzo as a backend for application’s SDKs.
  • GMLib - SDL 2 and C++ library for sprite-based applications i.e. 2D games of all forms and sizes.

The rest of less interesting or important stuff can be found over the github
