  Voip Engineer

  I started with the basics of VoIP, like:- Aarious VoIP software and hardware- Resting and debugging utilities- VoIP supportAt that time it was much harder to provide a VoIP service, due to unreliable internet connections, unstable standards, and poorly implemented software and hardware. On the other hand, it gave me a strong knowledge of debugging approaches and made me dig till until I an error or solution.Then I started working with more advanced software, like:- OpenSIPS and Kamailio- Mera- Asterisk and FreeSWITCHThat required a lot of tinkering with configs, forums, and reading books in order to reach proficiency. I was involved in providing tailor-made solutions for our customers, so I had to learn the aforementioned packages quite well.My job also required basic programming skills, so I started playing with Bash and Python for scripting and automation.

  Aug 2014 - Nov 2018

  CTO

  Being a CTO is a very challenging job, and I wasn't an exception. Our company started changing the infrastructure significantly, trying to get rid of obsolete software. I was managing a team of VoIP-engineer and SAs, and I was responsible for that transition, which included:- Implementation of SBCs, based on Yeti Switch project This part was probably the easiest, thanks to quite a mature open-source product and the team of creators, that helped us a lot. We successfully established several PoPs in different regions and cloud providers.- Geo-distributed cluster of Kazoo as a 5-class Softswitch Kazoo is an amazing example of enterprise software but it consists of many parts (open-source) and it's quite complex. We had to set up several clusters(which are quite complex themselves), like: * CouchDB - NoSQL-database for storing data; * RabbitMQ - as the main message broker; * Several Kazoo-nodes. All project was maintained in several geo-zones, and hosting providers(including cloud and non-cloud) like Amazon AWS, Hetzner, Yandex Cloud- Integration with the ERP system and client software Having scattered services is not enough, because clients want to see a nice front-end part, and also we have to count and control everything. So it took us quite some time to accomplish all integrations and automation, based on AWS StepFunctions, AWS Lambda, and custom scripts.I really enjoyed my time there, and I was lucky to work with many talented people.
