Backend role where I own a service or pipeline end to end - Python/FastAPI or C#/.NET, ideally with real data volume or an LLM/agent component. Small team, direct access to whoever owns the product, code review and tests as a norm. Remote, contracting as a registered private entrepreneur from Kyiv. I’ve worked with US and EU teams for most of my career, so timezone overlap isn’t new.

I build dependable Python and .NET data systems that turn fragmented inputs into usable products.
What I'm looking for
I’ve delivered backend and data systems for Microsoft Dynamics 365, Intel, and CoreLogic teams through EPAM and GlobalLogic. My work has cut a critical Dynamics pipeline from six hours to 40 minutes, eliminated appraisal-search timeouts under peak load, and reduced Intel firmware-validation feedback from days to hours.
Most recently at EPAM, I built Python data pipelines that processed 1-20 GB daily from dozens of sources into Parquet on AWS S3 and Elasticsearch. Shared parsers, validators, QA checks, and structured logging reduced manual correction by about 40% and made incident investigation take minutes instead of hours.
I also led a 19-person delivery group supporting a high-volume US appraisal platform. I build FastAPI microservices, SQL-heavy systems, and LLM-enabled workflows, and I’m completing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Short-term contract work on Python data-processing tasks and .NET maintenance for small teams and former colleagues. Pursuing an MSc in AI/ML with coursework in ML fundamentals, data engineering, and LLM applications.
Ran data acquisition from dozens of public websites, internal spreadsheets and scanned documents, turning 1-20 GB of fragmented daily input into consistent datasets analysts could query directly. Built shared Python components and converted raw input into columnar Parquet on AWS S3 and Elasticsearch, reducing manual correction effort by ~40% and incident investigation from hours to minutes.

Feb 2022 - Oct 2024 (2 years 8 months)
Volunteered following the start of the full-scale invasion. Veteran with combat service status, returned to engineering after discharge.
Led a 19-person team on a high-volume appraisal platform used across US lending workflows. Replaced a fragmented query chain with a single stored procedure, eliminating timeout errors under peak load and reducing recurring incidents by 20-30%.
Wrote and maintained automated C# test suites for next-generation Intel hardware, replacing slow manual runs. Built a Python test automation framework and Python tooling to parse Wireshark captures, surfacing protocol-level defects. Designed a PowerShell reporting system for test coverage and results, embedded in the Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline - feedback went from days to hours.
Senior .NET Developer
Itera
Apr 2019 - Feb 2020 (10 months)
Fixed customer-reported defects in a global .NET/SQL system for vessel inspections and certifications. Automated deployment with Azure DevOps, MSBuild and PowerShell, removing manual release steps and associated errors.
Senior .NET Developer
Skelia
Mar 2018 - Mar 2019 (1 year)
Extended Umbraco-based corporate portals with modules, integrations and content workflows used by teams across several regions to manage hotel and travel information. Cut failed releases by adding automated tests and fixing Azure deployment pipelines.
Cut a critical data pipeline from ~6 hours to ~40 minutes by parallelising heavy processing with Azure Functions, fitting large loads inside the daily maintenance window. Built an email processing filter (duplicate detection, consolidation, spam detection) that cut noise downstream. Redesigned the in-product Help experience and built custom data-entry forms that reduced time-to-complete.
