Summary
Andres Ignatov is a seasoned systems and network engineer with over 20 years of DevOps experience managing *nix infrastructure across physical datacenters and cloud platforms like AWS and DigitalOcean. Currently operating Caltech’s Tier-2 scientific computing clusters, he combines hands-on datacenter ops (hardware, networking, storage, BGP/AS management) with automation (Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation) and monitoring at scale. He has deep telecom and VoIP expertise from architecting carrier-grade private clouds, interconnects and billing/VoIP stacks, and a track record of complex migrations (physical→virtual→cloud) and IPv6 rollouts. Comfortable from rack-level cabling to 100G networking and Ceph/HTCondor clusters, he’s practiced in untangling messy networks into resilient, manageable designs. Outside work he pursues photography and videography and brings a practical, restless curiosity—seeking roles where he can grow into leadership rather than just match skills.
