hey everyone,

πŸ‘‹ I’m Tatiana Mikhaleva, a Docker Captain, Notion Ambassador, DevOps engineer, and founder of DevOps.Pink β€” where infrastructure meets clarity, community, and a little rebellion.

πŸ’Ύ I architect cloud solutions using AWS, Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, and (of course) Docker. My thing? Building clean, scalable, automated systems that just work β€” and helping others do the same.

πŸ’‘ I write in-depth, beginner-friendly tech guides that don’t bore you to sleep. My blog is a space for engineers who want real-world DevOps without the gatekeeping β€” especially newcomers, and especially women in tech who deserve better tools, more support, and fewer barriers.

🐳 Becoming a Docker Captain isn’t just a badge β€” it’s recognition of my mission: making DevOps not just understandable, but empowering. I believe anyone can master cloud and containers with the right guidance β€” and I’m here to provide it.

πŸ’– I don’t just teach DevOps β€” I make people want to do it. I bring clarity to chaos, automate the boring stuff, and make tech a little more human. And if that means shaking up the status quo? Even better.

If you’re building the future of cloud, I’m already packed.


Some of my developer shorts were picked up and published on Docker’s official YouTube channel β€” sharing real-world tips with thousands of devs.

🍿 From Chaos to Calm: Docker Compose Saved My Dev Environment – How Docker Compose transformed my local dev setup from a chaotic mess to a smooth, predictable process. One command, everything up and running β€” no heartbreak.

🍿 My Dockerfile Was a Mess Until This – A quick win with multi-stage builds that made my images faster and cleaner.


Tools I Personally Trust

If you want to make your digital life a little calmer β€” here are two tools I use every day:

πŸ›Έ Proton VPN – A trusted VPN that secures your Wi-Fi, hides your IP, and blocks trackers. Even in that no-password cafΓ© Wi-Fi, you’re safe.

πŸ”‘ Proton Pass – A password manager with on-device encryption. Passwords, logins, 2FA β€” always with you, and only for you.

These are partner links β€” you won’t pay a cent more, but you’ll be supporting DevOps.Pink. Thank you β€” it really means a lot πŸ’–
