Tatiana Mikhaleva

Tatiana Mikhaleva is a Platform Engineering Ambassador, Docker Captain, and CNCF Ambassador - peer-nominated recognitions held by a select group of contributors across the cloud-native ecosystem. Her ambassador roles span eight developer tooling programs in total. As founder of DevOps.Pink, Tatiana runs an independent cloud-native education practice reaching tens of thousands of engineers worldwide. Her work focuses on making Docker, Kubernetes, and the emerging agentic-AI stack accessible through walkthroughs, demos, and production-ready code. Through DevOps.Pink, Tatiana covers the questions platform engineering teams actually deal with: container architecture choices, the design of internal developer platforms that developers want to use, and how AI-augmented workflows fit into production engineering practice. A journalist by training, Tatiana brings editorial rigor to technical education - at the intersection of platform engineering practice and the agentic-AI era.
