Background

About Simeon Bakov

I’m a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with a passion for enabling teams through automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Within just a year at Axway, I’ve grown from newcomer to a key knowledge source and leader, driving the modernization of cloud infrastructure and processes. I thrive on solving pain points for others and integrating security into every solution, while mentoring new teammates and sharing expertise across teams. My journey spans technical leadership, hands-on engineering, and SRE, with experience at MentorMate and DraftKings leading teams and delivering client-focused solutions. I take pride in translating complex challenges into efficient systems—whether optimizing pipelines, troubleshooting incidents, or picking the right cloud architecture for the product, using the Well-Architected Framework and provisioning it. Curiosity drives me: I’ve explored everything from scripting to cybersecurity, and I stay sharp by attending conferences and collaborating widely. I believe great results come from knowledge sharing, transparency, and proactive communication. Whether working solo or with architects, I constantly seek ways to improve outcomes and empower those around me.
