What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote role outside Russia where I can build reliable high-load backend systems, improve APIs and integrations, work with legacy modernization, and quickly learn Go and modern web tools.

At Sovcombank Technologies, I develop and support internal banking services handling 1.8 million requests daily and approximately 100,000 monthly user growth. I designed REST APIs, implemented integrations, optimized database load with Redis, and introduced mutation testing that contributed to a 25% year-over-year reduction in incidents.

I've also built fintech and energy-management products, refactored legacy PHP systems, and supported SaaS, CRM, and ecommerce projects. I work with PHP, Laravel, Symfony, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker, GitLab CI, RabbitMQ, and REST APIs, and I'm ready to grow with Go and modern web tools in a remote role.
