What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on engineering roles where I can own backend systems, improve reliability and efficiency, work with modern infra (Docker/K8s), and mentor peers in pragmatic, documented solutions.

I am an engineer with a strong background in web scraping, backend development and infrastructure, experienced across PHP/Swoole, Python/Scrapy, C, C#, Docker and Kubernetes. I have delivered major refactorings, reduced storage from 80 TiB to 5 TiB, introduced PIM with Pimcore, and produced several open-source tools and scraping services.

My earlier work spans experimental microelectronics research and laboratory systems where I implemented hardware control scripts and published peer-reviewed research on graphene and semiconductor surfaces. I favour pragmatic, maintainable solutions, robust monitoring and clear documentation, and I enjoy taking ownership of complex technical components end-to-end.
