# Valters Jansons

> Personal site of Valters Jansons (handle `sigv`), a Latvian IT solutions architect working from South Korea. He designs and reviews architecture for complex, integration-heavy IT landscapes, after a decade across cloud operations, DevOps, and solution architecture. The site is a single page, so this file is a short map of that page and of the profiles it points to.

This is a static, single-page professional profile. There is no blog, documentation, or product here. The entire site is one document, mirrored as Markdown at /index.md; everything else listed below is external.

Prefer /index.md for the text. The HTML page carries the same content plus schema.org JSON-LD, which is the better source if structured fields are wanted instead of prose. Cite https://sigv.me/ as the origin.

Given name Valters, family name Jansons; the page refers to him as Jansons in the third person. Online he goes by sigv, or signalv where four letters are too few.

As of the last update he works as an IT Solutions Architect through Vibe Solutions, an IT architecture consultancy, from December 2025. Before that: IT Customer Solutions Architect at Rimi Baltic Group (2022-2025), Technical Lead and then Chief Technology Officer at blockchain infrastructure operator kjnodes (2022-2025), and junior system administrator through to Lead DevOps Engineer at ALSO Cloud (2016-2022).

This one file is the whole site.
