About#

I’m Tatiana Mikhaleva, a Docker Captain, GitKraken Ambassador, Notion Ambassador, DevOps engineer, and the girl behind DevOps.Pink - a corner of the internet where cloud automation gets clarity, community, and just a hint of pink rebellion.

💾 I’ve been shaping the cloud for years, working with AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, and (of course) Docker. What really excites me is taking messy, fragile systems and turning them into something clean, automated, and reliable - the kind of systems that give engineers back their time (and sanity!).

💛 I run DevOps.Pink, where I’ve built a community of engineers who want real-world DevOps without the gatekeeping. I write in-depth, step-by-step guides that make complex tech feel approachable - not just for seasoned pros, but for anyone who wants to break into DevOps. And yes, I put a special spotlight on women in tech because this space needs more support, more voices, and fewer barriers.

🚀 My dream is to make DevOps exciting instead of exhausting, and to show that cloud and containers don’t have to be a mystery. They can be a superpower.

🐳 As a Docker Captain, I love sharing everything I’ve learned - from Kubernetes clusters to CI/CD pipelines - so others can build better, faster, and with more confidence.

💖 Tech is more than tools. I like to make it human: automate the boring stuff, bring structure to chaos, and make the process creative and fun. And if that means breaking some old rules, perfect.

If you’re building something big, something new, or something that scares you just a little… I’m already on board. Let’s make DevOps a place where everyone can thrive!
