I’m a backend engineer shipping production async Python services with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Redis (EU-remote).
What I'm looking for
I’m an EU-remote backend engineer with 4+ years shipping production Python services, specializing in async FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I now freelance as a sole developer on full async FastAPI products—each delivered with 95%+ test coverage, CI/CD, and Docker.
Earlier, at Yandex, I led international market expansion (+1.5× driver registrations, 4 new markets) and re-architected a legacy monolith into microservices. Later, I was promoted to Team Lead at Quasar, where I grew the engineering team from 6 to 10 and took ownership of key system design and delivery outcomes.
I build with a strong engineering ethos: clean access control, reliable automation (reports, pipelines, schedulers), and measurable quality improvements. From Quasar’s CI/CD acceleration (40% faster deployment, 60% less review time) to my current async Telegram Mini Apps and Bots, I focus on shipping production-ready systems that stay maintainable.
