Frequently asked questions
Who is behind DevOpsFlow?
DevOpsFlow is run by Maxim Cujba, a Senior DevOps Engineer and founder of Skynet Hosting SRL, registered in Chișinău, Moldova. I have worked on production infrastructure since 2012, first in telecom network operations and later in Kubernetes, CI/CD and cloud engineering.
Is DevOpsFlow an agency?
No. You work directly with me, a senior engineer, from the first call to the handoff.
Where are you based, and who do you work with?
I am based in Chișinău, Moldova, and work remotely with companies in the United States, Switzerland and the European Union.
How does a project start?
With a conversation, not a quote. Book a free consultation through the contact form; I reply within 24 hours on business days. We look at what your infrastructure is today and what is breaking, then I map the target state before anything changes.
What do I have at the end of an engagement?
Infrastructure defined as code, plus the runbooks, architecture decisions and monitoring dashboards needed to run it. You own a system you can maintain yourself, or I stay on for ongoing support.
Which certifications do you hold?
I hold the CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), valid until April 2027. Earlier certifications from Juniper, Fortinet, Cisco, MikroTik and LPI are listed with their validity periods and verification links on the certifications page.
See the certifications page →In which languages can we work?
