Staff software engineer · backend & distributed systems
Backendsthat survivethe load.
Nearly 7 years building distributed, high-load backend systems - for AI platforms, fintech and Web3 products across Russia, Switzerland and the US. Microservices in Go and Node.js, owned from zero to production, with the queues, caches and observability that keep them standing.

Frontend architecture and NFT minting for a Web3 marketplace, plus the integration layer wiring the UI to a Wyvern-based on-chain exchange - minting, bids and transfers.
About
How I work
I build backend and distributed systems and carry the technical vision end to end - microservices, message queues, caching layers, observability. I care about the parts that don't demo well: idempotency, graceful degradation, dead-letter queues, the 3am pager that never goes off. I've also led: I grew the engineering team from 2 to 10, owned the technical direction, and worked directly with sales and clients - so I build with the business in view, not just the spec. But my center of gravity is the code. I work in Go and Node.js, and I'm comfortable across the stack when it earns its keep - React, Next.js, even Solidity and Electron. English C1, open to relocation and remote.
