About
I am Denis Verbin — a Django developer, Linux sysadmin and DevOps engineer based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Most of my work sits on both sides of the deploy: writing Django and Wagtail applications, and running the Linux hosts, containers and pipelines they live on. In practice that means a lot of Docker, Ansible playbooks, CI/CD, nginx, PostgreSQL and monitoring that has to keep working without anyone watching it.
The tools on this site started as things I needed myself — a quick IP check, a WHOIS lookup that was not covered in advertising, a password generator I could trust. They are small, self-hosted and free to use.
