What I'm looking for

I want to build reliable, high-load backend systems and distributed services—owning REST APIs, message-driven pipelines, and incident-free operations—while growing deeper in Rust and performance-focused architecture.

I’m a Python Backend Engineer with 4+ years of commercial experience building and maintaining high-load production systems. I develop REST APIs, service integrations, and asynchronous data processing pipelines, covering the full cycle from requirements analysis to production support, with a strong focus on transactional business logic and message-queue-driven workflows.

In my work at AO «Tochka» (Tochka Bank), I’ve designed and optimized PostgreSQL schemas and queries, built integrations via HTTP and RabbitMQ, and improved service stability through log/metrics analysis and incident investigation. I’m also actively developing in Rust and distributed systems architecture—working on concurrency, performance, and reliability through projects like a Rust message broker and an experimental matching engine.
