I am a seasoned Backend Developer with deep expertise in JVM languages like Java and Kotlin, and a Master's degree in Computer Science. With over a decade of experience, from startups to large corporations, I've developed a comprehensive skill set and the adaptability to thrive in various environments.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated strong proficiency in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), microservices, SOLID principles, event-driven architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. A recent role had me managing a system of 1200+ microservices, showcasing my ability to handle large-scale, complex microservice architectures.

I'm not just experienced in maintaining existing systems, but also in initiating new projects. I spearheaded the development of an IMSI catchers detector from a Raspberry Pi prototype in a shoebox to a mature product.

My technology stack includes, but is not limited to, Java, Kotlin, Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Kafka, AWS, and Spring Boot. Recently, I led a massive refactor of a 4-year-old application, adding support for multi-currency and multi-market, illustrating my skills in modernizing and upgrading existing systems.

I'm currently seeking new freelance opportunities that could benefit from my skills and experience. I've been working remotely for over a decade and am comfortable with such an arrangement.

Please feel free to reach out if you think my skill set aligns with your needs. I'm looking forward to discussing how I can contribute to your project.

Hi, I work on mathematical optimization (operations research),algorithm development and machine learning. I can help create models to optimize decision making as well as assist in developing efficient algorithms for solving complex tasks. I can also help optimize your existing codebase to run more efficiently.

Previous projects include building software and optimization models for a major international airline.
