What I'm looking for
I’m a backend engineer with 4 years of experience building data-intensive systems and scalable APIs. I’ve delivered backend services for e-commerce and retail operations for a federal drug store chain supporting 2,000+ stores, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, and data correctness.
I design and optimize PostgreSQL-based data warehouse systems handling large datasets (400M+ rows per table), and I build API integrations with external delivery providers. I work with asynchronous processing (RabbitMQ) for dependable order status synchronization, develop data processing applications for operational and financial reporting, and collaborate closely with analysts and business stakeholders on architecture decisions while mentoring junior developers.
