I build high-load Python backend, payment, and LLM-agent systems from production services to Kubernetes deployment.
What I'm looking for
I've built backend systems for Lionsoul Global and Aviata.kz/Chocotravel.com, spanning digital-asset investment products, high-volume travel ticketing, payments, and reconciliation.
At Lionsoul Global, I designed a Separately Managed Account staking product with BitGo integration, added NAV-based investment analytics and reconciliation, and strengthened support and authentication through audited admin impersonation and Apple and Google SSO.
At Aviata.kz/Chocotravel.com, I led a seven-person cross-functional team and migrated B2B air and rail ticketing from a PHP monolith to async Sanic microservices with zero downtime. The work reduced payment latency from roughly 1–2 seconds to about 250ms and lowered production incidents from 1–2 per day to around 2 per week.
More recently, I've built and deployed a multi-persona Telegram LLM agent with RAG, structured memory, tool use, evaluations, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. I'm open to backend, LLM-application, and platform work.
