What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can scale high-load crypto systems, lead infrastructure and integrations, apply ML to trading, and work in a highly automated, observability-driven environment.

I am a senior software engineer with eight years of Python in production, focused on building high-load systems and crypto infrastructure. I have led infrastructure migrations, designed microservices architectures, and delivered 20+ DeFi protocol integrations while maintaining 99% uptime for services serving 10,000 users.

I combine backend engineering (FastAPI, asyncio), systems programming (Rust, Go), and infrastructure (Kubernetes, FluxCD) with applied ML for quantitative trading using a self-collected 260M+ datapoint dataset. I prioritize reliability, observability, and automation to accelerate integrations and scale production systems.
