Gart Solutions
Fedir Kompaniiets, CEO & co-founder of Gart Solutions, a Kyiv-based DevOps and cloud architecture consultancy. He started his career in IT in 2006 as a systems administrator, moved through DevOps engineering roles at SoftServe, N-iX, and Astelit/Lifecell, and spent time as DevOps Principal Lead at Ciklum before co-founding Gart Solutions with Roman Burdiuzha in December 2019.
Today he works as a Cloud Solutions Architect and Digital Transformation Consultant, advising engineering teams (largely across Europe) on multi-cloud strategy, sovereign infrastructure, DevSecOps, and compliance (ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR).
Before this engagement, Fedir had 15+ years of real technical and leadership experience, but close to no structured personal footprint: no consistent publishing cadence, no earned media, and no crawlable expert profiles for search engines or AI tools to draw from.
B2B tech — DevOps, cloud architecture, and digital transformation consulting, with a specific point of view on EU digital sovereignty, sovereign cloud vs. hyperscaler managed services, cloud migration and cost optimization (AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner), regulatory compliance in cloud environments, and — more recently — what AI-native and "vibe-coded" development means for technical governance and rescue engineering.
Fedir had an active but unstructured LinkedIn presence and a handful of scattered publications, but no consistent thought-leadership engine behind either. Search results for his name returned fragments rather than a coherent picture of his expertise. There was no earned media strategy, no mentorship footprint on structured platforms, and no deliberate work toward AI-visibility.
Rebuilt Fedir's LinkedIn profile and put a content strategy behind it — a mix of articles, case-study style posts, and commentary on cloud/DevOps trends, promoted through LinkedIn groups, social channels, and email outreach, paired with deliberate community engagement (commenting, discussions, group participation).
Launched a LinkedIn newsletter, Tech & Business Insights, which grew to 1256 subscribers, alongside a second, topic-specific newsletter on his profile, Digital Transformation & Tech, extending his reach into recurring, subscribed inboxes rather than one-off feed impressions.
Results:
Rather than a one-off PR push, earned media for Fedir runs as a continuous column/byline program across association, international trade, and Ukrainian business/tech outlets:
IT Ukraine Association (itukraine.org.ua) — an ongoing guest-column slot. Example: "Consulting AI Startups Without a Technical Leader" (September 2026), a deep-dive on advising non-technical founders building on AI/no-code platforms, referencing Forrester, McKinsey, Gartner, and METR research on AI-driven technical debt.
Techstrong IT (techstrong.it) — a leading international IT/cloud publication. "The EU Cloud Managed Services Gap: What AWS Ships That Sovereign Clouds Still Don't" (July 2026), a byline on the gap between hyperscaler managed services and EU sovereign cloud offerings.
DZone — "Building Jenkins Infrastructure Pipelines", a technical tutorial on CI/CD pipeline design.
Speka.ua / Speka Media — a recurring author page with six-plus pieces, including "IT Monitoring for E-Commerce: Why Your Online Store Is Losing Money" (Nov 2025), "The Future of IT Infrastructure: When Sustainability Becomes a Strategic Advantage" (Oct 2025), "AI in Medicine 2025: Which Use Cases Already Work" (Aug 2025), "Compliance Audit in Healthcare" and "Fail Fast, Scale Fast: How Startups Fail Due to Lack of Tech Expertise" (both Oct 2024), and "How to Get the Most Out of Web Summit: Gart Solutions' Experience" (Nov 2023).
ITC.ua — Ukraine's most popular general IT outlet. "How Modern IT Infrastructure Impacts the Quality of Healthcare" (Aug 2025).
dev.ua — an active blog author profile with pieces including "Why Global Startups Are Choosing Lightweight BaaS Platforms — and What That Means for Ukrainian Outsourcing Teams" (2026), "TECHARENA 2026: Why This Conference Deserves Ukrainian IT Business's Attention" (2026), and "The State of the Cloud Security Market in Ukraine" (2025).
ThePage.ua — "AI, Gender Equality, and a Large Ukrainian Delegation: What Stood Out at Web Summit 2023" (Nov 2023).
Startup Weekly — a founder interview: "[Interview] Fedir Kompaniiets, CEO, Gart Solutions, Ukraine."
Cases.media — a spokesperson quote in coverage of Gart's Clutch Champion / Clutch Global award (Fall 2024).
Medium — a personal author page with additional posts, including "Transforming Banking in the Digital Age."
The breadth here is the point: coverage spans an industry association (IT Ukraine), an international cloud/IT trade press (Techstrong IT), a global dev community (DZone), Ukraine's largest general-tech outlet (ITC.ua), a Ukrainian tech-business media group (Speka/ThePage), and an outsourcing-focused blog network (dev.ua) — giving both Google and AI answer engines multiple independent, cross-referencing sources to draw from.
Represented Gart Solutions at Web Summit (2023) and TECHARENA 2026 in Stockholm, with a published recap positioning the conference as a must-visit for Ukrainian IT companies eyeing the Nordic market. Gart Solutions won the Clutch Champion and Clutch Global Awards (Fall 2024), with Fedir quoted as company spokesperson in the resulting press coverage.
Beyond media, built out structured, crawlable first-party profiles on mentorship platforms — most notably Projector (prjctr.com), where Fedir has served as a paid mentor since November 2024, offering technical audits, IT strategy consulting, architecture reviews, and cloud infrastructure guidance (AWS/Azure/GCP) to startups and enterprises. This is the same category of structured profile data — full bio, credentials, linked LinkedIn — that both Google's Knowledge Graph and AI answer engines draw on when assembling a picture of a person's expertise.
LinkedIn: In the first year of the engagement, Fedir's profile reached 978,953 impressions — a 283,654.5% increase over the prior year. Cumulative impressions have since crossed 1.4M+, backed by two active newsletters (Tech & Business Insights and Digital Transformation & Tech) that turned one-off feed visibility into recurring, subscribed reach.
Earned media: An always-on placement pipeline spanning an international cloud trade publication (Techstrong IT), a global developer community (DZone), Ukraine's leading general-tech and business media (ITC.ua, Speka, ThePage, dev.ua), and the country's main industry association (IT Ukraine) — with new bylines continuing to publish on a rolling basis rather than as a single campaign. The outlets listed here are illustrative, not exhaustive; the actual footprint runs well beyond this set.
Search & AI visibility: Between the LinkedIn presence, the ongoing media bylines, and structured, crawlable profiles like his Projector mentor page, Fedir now has a strong, consistent footprint across Google search and AI answer engines — multiple independent, cross-referencing sources for both to draw from when forming a picture of his expertise in cloud architecture, DevOps, and digital transformation.
