What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or relocation opportunities where I can build reliable, high-performance backend and AI-powered products, own architecture and integrations, and turn product ideas into shipped features.

At GrowFood, I owned R&D across architecture, partner integrations, and microservices, modernizing PHP/Laravel services and improving reliability and route latency. I launched a unified integration gateway for Sbermarket/Kuper, Magnit, T-Vitrina, Jira, and 1C, opening new sales channels.

I've shipped production LLM features including support bots, image classification, self-learning ticket triage, and AI-assisted DevOps incident handling. I also set up an AI-assisted development workflow using MCP servers, Cursor, Claude Code, and internal knowledge bases, and delivered 10+ production Telegram bots.

Earlier, I built products from scratch at Alyce, Matetech, Pushex, TriLan, and legko.com, spanning B2B SaaS, EdTech, messaging, automotive catalogs, and web services. I care most about clean, optimized code and systems that remain reliable under load.
