Senior Backend Engineer & Architect with expertise in high-load systems, real-time data, AI integration, and microservices.
What I'm looking for
Senior Backend Engineer and Engineering Lead with 7+ years of experience designing and scaling high-load Node.js / TypeScript systems in fintech, crypto trading, logistics, and media. Led teams of up to 11 engineers, hired and mentored developers, and built two products from scratch: a warehouse management system that grew into a B2B SaaS product, and a real-time crypto trading platform with MT5 integration. Experienced in microservices and event-driven architecture on AWS: migrated 100 Lambda functions to a NestJS monorepo with zero downtime, scaled a platform through an ~8x Eurovision traffic spike with zero incidents, and delivered sub-100ms real-time data across 5 regions. Works directly with business stakeholders to turn raw requests into production-ready solutions, and builds AI-native development workflows with Claude Code, MCP servers, and LangGraph. Seeking Senior, Lead, or Architect roles where architecture, delivery, and team growth go hand in hand.
