What I'm looking for

As a senior software engineer with over 15 years of experience, I have developed a strong proficiency in creating and maintaining complex high-performance systems. My expertise lies in building custom high-loaded systems, integrating third-party APIs, and optimizing applications for scalability and performance. I pride myself on delivering projects on time and within budget, ensuring that my contributions significantly enhance operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including my current position as Team Lead Backend at VK, where I oversee the backend development of a high-loaded service with millions of daily active users. My responsibilities include making architectural decisions, conducting tech reviews, and mentoring developers. I have also played a pivotal role in transitioning legacy systems to modern microservices, demonstrating my commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
