Hi, I’m Adam, a senior software engineer and hands-on solution architect based in Tallinn. I help teams build reliable software and modernize systems
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior software engineer, tech lead, and hands-on solution architect based in Tallinn, Estonia. I work with remote teams on a B2B basis through Isakdata OÜ, helping them design, build, and modernize backend systems. My core stack is TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and AWS.
At Axinom, I led the team behind a GraphQL backend serving SkyShowtime, NOW, and Peacock at around 100,000 requests per second. I also architected and shipped the Pindly mobile app beta for iOS and Android, defined its AWS infrastructure as code with CDK, and used AI-assisted development workflows to automate repetitive tasks. I currently help pinDeliver modernize its logistics SaaS platform.
I’m open to remote B2B contracts in senior backend engineering, technical leadership, and solution architecture. I’m especially interested in projects where I can shape the architecture, stay close to the code, and help the team ship.
