IT engineer · Montréal · in the field since 2018

I'm Pavlo Kholodnyi

I'm an IT engineer who makes big, complicated systems calm and predictable. Since 2018 that has meant support, cloud, and everything that breaks at 3am. I still enjoy the hard problems.

Why IT?

Because I could never leave a broken thing alone.

A machine that won't boot, a network that keeps dropping, a report nobody can explain. Hand it to me and I'll disappear into it until it makes sense. That habit turned into a career, from fixing a university's computers to keeping telecom networks alive to architecting cloud platforms for enterprise customers.

What that means, day to day
I run things in the cloud

I deploy and tune enterprise software on AWS, Azure and on-prem, shaped around each customer's security and networking constraints.

I put out the fires

When production breaks under heavy load, I find the root cause and make sure the same failure can't happen twice.

I connect people

I sit between customers and engineering, turning vague problems into concrete fixes and mentoring the team along the way.
