Evgenii Strigo
@evgeniistrigo
I build scalable fintech payment systems and backend services with Node.js, Golang, PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud platforms.
What I'm looking for
At Tillhub by Unzer, I develop backend features for POS and back-office products, helping split a monolith into microservices to roughly double durability and improve scalability. I also led infrastructure work that enabled Git Flow and increased release frequency by 3–5 times.
I've spent over 17 years building payment platforms, banking products, tax and exchange-rate systems, and merchant tools at PAY2U, Unlimint Services, ProtocolOne, OnlinePay.com, OpenWay Services, and Yandex.Money. I enjoy owning features from requirements and specifications through development, documentation, launch, and support—and I prefer writing code to endless meetings.
