About Me

I'm Pavel Kamarashev — a DevOps and cybersecurity engineer focused on building secure, automated, and scalable systems. I combine practical infrastructure experience with a strong understanding of attack surfaces to deliver solutions that are both resilient and security-aware.

I build containerized applications with Docker and orchestrate them using Kubernetes. I automate provisioning and configuration with Ansible, and manage CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions — ensuring that each commit moves code closer to production, safely and reliably.

I deploy services like FileCloud behind secure tunnels, implement TLS and health checks, and treat observability and reproducibility as core principles. My goal is always infrastructure that’s easy to rebuild, hard to break, and ready to scale.

On the security side, I take a hands-on, methodical approach — running tests against vulnerable machines like Metasploitable and JANGOW01 using Nmap, Metasploit, Bettercap, and Responder. I study misconfigurations, test for privilege escalation paths, and learn through simulation and iteration.

This portfolio reflects my journey through platforms like LabEx.io and beyond — a combination of applied learning, real tools, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Whether deploying pipelines or probing for exploits, I’m always working toward better systems.

DevOps Projects

Below are some of the projects I've worked on, demonstrating my practical experience in DevOps automation and cybersecurity:

  • Flask + Redis Visit Counter: A Python web app using Redis to count visits, deployed in Docker and managed with GitHub Actions for CI.
  • FileCloud Deployment: Self-hosted enterprise file sync service using Docker Compose, persistent volumes, and Cloudflare tunneling.
  • Penetration Test Labs: Hands-on testing on Metasploitable and hardened JANGOW01, using Nmap, reverse shells, and privilege escalation.
  • Athena Quiz App: Flask + PostgreSQL + NGINX project based on DevOps Essentials side project. [View repo]
