Vladimir Bogdanov

I am a Python Developer and DevOps Engineer based in Volgograd, Russia, with over 15 years of experience in IT. I currently work at Arenadata Software, building deployment and administration tooling for the Arenadata DB product line with Python and Ansible. Before that I worked as a DevOps Engineer at ICL Astra Service and Citros, and spent more than ten years running IT infrastructure for regional government and healthcare organizations. I always try to automate routine tasks and processes as much as possible, I enjoy complex multi-component systems, and I believe transparency and good documentation are key to successfully building and running information systems.
