@andrejbestuzhev
I build high-load backend systems, AI integrations, and cost-efficient microservice platforms serving millions of users.
SerbiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led product development, infrastructure, hiring, and budget planning at GeniusLaw, where I migrated a legacy legaltech system to Laravel/Filament and integrated OpenAI and Claude APIs for LLM-driven contract drafting, dispute generation, lead validation, and dynamic forms. I also containerized services and reduced server costs by up to 30%.
Across Vprok.ru, GeekBrains, Game Insight, Wezzet, IPONWEB, and Moscow state services, I've led teams of 3–12 and delivered high-load systems used by millions. My work includes migrating platforms to microservices, increasing request throughput from 50 to 2,000+ RPS, reducing infrastructure usage by up to 70%, and building reliable event-driven services.
